At the back of the canvas is a special presentation of Kustiyah’s selected works from 1955-1985 by the research group Hyphen—. Kustiyah studied painting in the Indonesia Fine Arts Academy (now Indonesia Arts Institute) in 1953-1956. Other than actively painting and exhibiting, Kustiyah who was born in Probolinggo, 1935, was also known for her sincerity in lending her hands for the many, many arts studios in the era of "filling the independence", such as Young Indonesian Artists, Sanggar Pelukis Rakyat, Bamboo Workshop, dan Indonesian Painters Association.

Kustiyah died in 2012. Since 2016, her family has displayed most of her works in Griya Seni Hj. Kustiyah Edhi Sunarso, Yogyakarta. By far, Hyphen— has jotted down 110 of her works, mostly paintings. In other words, all Kustiyah’s life, she has been entangled at the back of canvases—holding her own brush, painting; or striking a pose for her friends to paint her.
