Yoes Rizal (b.1956) on 24 April Palembang) is an Indonesian painter. He graduated in 1985 from the Department of Art & Design at the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), under Indonesian Muchtar Apin, Kaboel Soeadi, Sanento Yuliman, Ahmad Sadali, Joan Sommers, master of Sumi-e (North Carolina).

Yoes rejects the notion that art artwork can be explained in relation to a single message or story, believing such explanations to be posturing: “My work is not final, that’s the problem. The idea is not ending at this size. It has to be continued, it’s a process,”Yoes Rizal's humanist and intuitive-reflective nature lends real depth to his treatment of the human figure and the way human interactions are depicted. We encounter here statements of universal power about the human condition
