Sonja Moser
Austria
Biography
 Sonja
Moser, born in Austria, is primarily a
figurative painter who began her painting
journey in New Orleans while studying Jazz
piano. She moved to New York after the floods of
Katrina, where she became involved in artist
collectives, and gained an extensive collector
base.
Her work is inspired by her immediate vicinity
and the various characters moving within it. In
magnifying the human spirit with emotional
expressiveness, her aim is to let individuality
shine through. She finds it effortless to
uncover beauty in the peripheral, in the
stranger contemplating his existence, or a stray
dog roaming about.
Tracing everyday existence, she treats painting
as a narrative, unearthing and illuminating that
which lies beyond the surface. Sonja had two
solo exhibits in her native Austria, before
moving to Cairo in 2009, where she has exhibited
work that is strongly influenced by Egyptian
culture.
