Sasha Shalmina is an experimental multimedia artist, based in Glasgow, Scotland.

She studied BSc Hons Architecture at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. sasha's architectural education gave her the ability to push her traditional skills much further and into the realm of design, digital art, moving image and animation. 

When she worked as a graphic designer she became really passionate about collage, as this medium allowed endless possibilities for self expression and experimentation. In 2024 she was featured in Contemporary Collage magazine and has taken part in their inaugural residency in London in 2025.

Sasha is best known for her evocative abstract art - these works explore the landscapes of her subconscious mind, her thoughts, dreams, feelings and other dimensions of the human experience.

In 2021 her animated paintings, a collaboration with her father, architect and artist, Ivan Shalmin were exhibited at the Saatchi gallery in London and in 2022 they were shown in Amsterdam and also at the Louvre in Paris.

Her debut solo exhibition [Glasgow, 2025], shown as part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival, was formally recognised by Scottish Parliament through a Standard Motion acknowledging its artistic and social significance. The motion received cross-party support from more than 30 MSPs. Read the full motion here.

Sasha is currently represented by the Glasgow Print Studio.
