Osvald Timmas was born in 1913 in the County of Kärla, Saaremaa, Estonia. He studied economics at the University of Tartu from 1939–44. Then, Timmas studied art with prominent artists like Nikolai Kummits in Tartu from 1939–42 and Günther Reindorff in Tallinn from 1943–44. Followed by studies in Illustrative Arts in Stockholm, Sweden, from 1947–50. In 1951, Timmas moved to Canada, he established himself as a professional artist, and became a Canadian Citizen in 1956.

He was an instructor and lecturer throughout his career. Also, Timmas was a member of The Royal Canadian Academy.
