Omma Moon is a portrait painter based in Sweden.
Omma Moon explores the meeting between figurative realist oil painting and modern-day life, using old materials and techniques in her timeless portraits.
Born in 1995, she grew up in Sweden, Ghana, and the United States, working in Australia and Ireland before returning to Sweden to begin her formal artistic training in the atelier school tradition at the Florence Academy of Art. She is a member of the Pastel Guild of Europe and of Sweden’s Konstnärscentrum.
Her artworks can be found in private collections, and in the collection of the Swedish state.
