Aung Kyaw So (Burmese: အောင်ကျော်စို; 1832 – 1890) was a 19th-century Burmese artist whose works were rediscovered in the 21st century and recognized as a significant contribution to the culture and history of Burma’s independence struggle. Aung Kyaw So was born during a time when Burma was under British colonial rule, which deeply influenced his life and artistic vision. His works reflect the tension between Myanmar’s traditional culture and the oppressive colonial regime.[1][2]
