Born in 1952 in Perak, Malaysia, Raja Azhar Idris earned his Fine Arts degree from the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia. In 1981, he received the Melbourne Lord Mayor’s Prize and was named Artist of the Year by the Victoria Artist Society. He also founded Art Case Galleries, where he continues to practice his art.
