Di Warung Hik

Di Warung HIK captures the lively and familiar atmosphere of a warung, a traditional Javanese street food and beverage stall that serves as a social hub. At the center of the scene, a group of people sit close together, drinking and chatting reflecting the warmth and intimacy of the moment. The painting highlights the simple yet meaningful social connections that define everyday life in Javanese culture. HIK itself is a popular culinary and hangout spot in Solo. The name HIK is said to stand for Hidangan Istimewa Kampung, or “Special Village Dishes,” offering a variety of fried snacks and other light meals. These stalls typically open in the late afternoon and stay bustling until the early hours of the morning.
