Klowor Waldiyono (Indonesian, b. 1968) is a contemporary painter known for his bold, colourful, and expressive works that often explore themes of nature, social issues, and cultural narratives. Born in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Klowor completed his formal art education at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI), graduating in 1995. Active in the Indonesian art scene since 1989, he has participated in over 100 group and solo exhibitions across Indonesian and abroad, receiving multiple awards for his creative achievements. His notable works, such as Cactus Garden (2018), Celengan (2019), and Harvest Season (2019), often depict a vivid interplay between human figures, animals, and plants, reflecting his deep concern for the balance of nature.

Klowor’s style of painting fuses traditional Indonesian visual elements with contemporary painting techniques, creating compositions filled with symbolic meaning. His solo exhibitions, including Hitam - Putih (1995), Siklus dan Sirkus Klowor (2011), and Colour(s) of Klowor (2013), have established him as a respected figure in Indonesia’s modern art landscape. His works are included in private and institutional collections both locally and internationally.

The current owner acquired the work from a neighbour before they departed the building.
