I Wayan Sujana Suklu was born and raised among farmers in Klungkung, Bali. Suklu then continued to study at the SMSR Denpasar, the fine-art college in Denpasar and study Visual Art at the STSI Denpasar, the fine-art institute at Denpasar afterwards. He then graduated and became a lecturer at the institute.
In his early paintings, Suklu exploited the psychological problems that he had lived through. Suklu, whose mother left when he was a child, was forever obsessed with women. Female figures became the dominating theme in his early paintings. His later works, particularly since 1997 have since gradually changed, and given way to visual artworks that showed repetitive forms. His solo exhibition “The Sun in Nepal” was held in Komaneka Fine Arts Gallery in 2004.
