Omma Moon is a contemporary realist painter based in Östergötland, Sweden.
Classically trained in the atelier school tradition, Omma Moon explores the meeting between figurative realist oil painting and loose abstraction, 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. She is a member of the Danish Artist Association of Figurative and Contemporary Realism (KFKR). Her artworks can be found in private collections.
