Born in Soroako, works and lives in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Iyok Prayogo completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta in 2009. His artistic practice is shaped by personal experiences of growing up amid diverse visual and popular cultures, ranging from cartoons, heavy metal posters, punk rock aesthetics, cassette culture, old-school magazines, and fashion.

His works frequently merge popular icons with local content, generating new layers of meaning while offering critical reflections on contemporary events and realities.
