Omana Nair

Visual Artist and Painter

Meet the Artist

Art has always been Omana’s passion.

She started painting adventures while she was living in Manila, Philippines.Her strong interest for paintings has been a fascinating learning experience as she enjoys being able to challenge herself through her creative works.

Bringing everyday images to life, especially landscapes and scenes from her travels, is more than a hobby; it is a way to relax and revisit emotions and experiences in a new light.

One of her favourite subjects was her pet Westie, Muttley. Currently residing in Kuala Lumpur and Lisbon, she learned the techniques of oil painting from a Filipino artist.


Whenever the opportunity arises, she visits art museums and exhibitions to explore and study works and techniques used by other artists.

Omana is a strong supporter of charities for children and has participated in art exhibitions for charity.
