Jas Shalimar is a Queer multidisciplinary artist who explores themes of identity, home, temporality and the language of the body. She is inspired by the intricate details of everyday moments and seeks to reveal their ephemeral beauty and visual poetry. Working with ink, watercolour, wood, brass, found objects, and poetry, Jas draws upon the symbolic, metaphorical and physical histories embedded within materials to convey her ideas. Her lyrical practice is deeply influenced by her childhood, growing up in a unique house built by her carpenter father, where chairs hung from the ceiling and secret passageways threaded through the roof.

Jas graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) from RMIT University in 2019 and held her first solo exhibition Something Feels Familiar: Memorialising the Everyday in 2023.
