Haruna Manaka

I am Haruna Manaka (artist name: Oharu), a Tokyo-based painter originally from Bangkok, Thailand. My artistic vision blends the beauty of nature with cosmic and neon-inspired expressions, creating vibrant, visionary worlds inhabited by animals, mythical creatures, and swirling galaxies. Since 2020, I have been active in group exhibitions, café shows, and art events across Tokyo, steadily building recognition through both original paintings and art merchandise. My goal is to connect viewers to a sense of wonder—where the natural and cosmic worlds merge into one.

Self-taught artist with a background in design and illustration. Transitioned to a full-time art career in 2020 after several years of experience in sales and design work.
