RICKY WAHYUDI (b. 1974) is an Indonesian visual artist born in Payakumbuh, West Sumatra, and currently based in Bantul, Yogyakarta. He studied Informatics Engineering at Universitas Persada Indonesia YAI, Jakarta, a background that informs his structured and analytical approach to visual composition.

His works have been featured at major platforms including Art Jakarta and Art Moments Jakarta, as well as exhibitions in Malaysia, Singapore, and London. In 2024, he was selected as a finalist for the Grey Art Award in Bandung, Indonesia.

Through an intuitive yet deliberate approach, his works explore identity, transition, and the dialogue between tradition and contemporary expression. He is an active member of the Sakato Art Community.
