Aung Kyaw Htet paints the faces of monks and nuns in great detail to show their humanity. This is in contradiction to most Burmese artists who usually omit facial details to focus on monks as symbols of religion rather than as human individuals. Aung Kyaw Htet's use of bright colours is attractive and draws the viewer's attention to the serenity in the paintings. He has participated in several exhibitions in Burma, Thailand - 2002, 2004, 2005, 2008, Singapore -2003, 2008, Hong Kong -2003, 2004, Taiwan 2006, and his works are in the permanent collections of the National Art Gallery of Malaysia and the National Museum of Myanmar, Burma.
