Condro Priyoaji’s painting focuses on the interconnected relationship between two elements that produce color: pigments and light. While color is our perception of the energy and wavelengths of light that reach our eyes, Priyoaji’s paintings aim to capture light through the use of pigments. He also explores the impermanent and fleeting nature of shadow, viewing them as the most subtle form of color, especially in how they are shaped by time and space.

Priyoaji’s solo exhibitions include The Stillness of Becoming at ara contemporary, Jakarta, Indonesia (2025); Ephemeral Eternity at A+ Works of Art, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2024); and Broken White Project #16: Lesap at Ace House Collective, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (2024). Priyoaji was awarded the 2023 ARTJOG Young Artist Award.
