Erica Hestu Wahyuni’s Bio
Born in Jogjakarta, Indonesia in 1971, Erica started painting in primary school, joining a children’s drawing club (Sanggar Katamsi), which was taught by Suharto PR and Herry Wibowo – both established painters. Later she studied painting at the Indonesian Fine Art Institute in Jogjakarta and Surikov Institute of Art, Russia. In 1993, her work was selected for the International Triennale Competition of Painting in Osaka, Japan.
Erica held her first solo exhibition at the Purna Budaya in 1995, officiated by the Sultan of Yogyakarta. Since then, she has exposed all over the world. Erica’s naive, playful renditions have ascertained her reputation as one of the most sought-after contemporary artists in Southeast Asia. Each work contains interesting narrative qualities, which reveal the worldview of the artist.
Typically, Erica depicts her experiences in scenes with main characters (human and animals, especially elephants) in extraordinary environments. She takes an interest in the scenes’ surroundings, painting them with great detail. Her paintings draw from Indonesian heritage and from daily life and create an ideal universe where nature and humanity are in harmony. An invitation to all to create a better and more sustainable world.
