Tony paints hyperrealistic portraits of Muay Thai fighters—but with a twist. His boxers wear glittery eye shadow, floral phakhao ma (loincloths) made of lace, and pose against backgrounds of Japanese anime.

One of his pieces, Nak Muay Katoey , is permanently installed at the gallery’s entrance. longmint gallery thai
