Nikolaj Omersa (3 December 1911 – 3 December 1981) was a Slovene painter and illustrator.

Biography

Omersa was born in Idrija in 1911. He graduated from the Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts in 1937. During the Second World War he was interred in Dachau Mittelbau-Dora and Ravensbrück concentration camps.
