Hello and Welcome!
My name is Andrea Moser. I’m a Brisbane-based mixed media artist working from my studio in the city's leafy western suburbs. My practice explores the concept of change and transitions, using encaustic wax or acrylics to map the shifts in the world around us.
I enjoy pushing the boundaries of encaustic wax—a 2,000-year-old medium—to create modern works that challenge how we view this ancient art form. By painting with a blowtorch, I layer wax, pigments, and oil paint to build surfaces defined by texture and depth. My creative journey is shaped by my European roots and my life in Australia; my background in business and local government fuels my interest in how perspectives and identity evolve over time. Whether through the heat of the torch or the stroke of a brush, my work is an investigation into how we and the environment change over time.
Deconstructed Lifecycle Collection (Encaustic Wax)
This encaustic wax series is all about how we view the world through our unique lenses. I love to explore how different people connect with the same subject, each bringing their own values, beliefs, and experiences. My paintings in this collection are all about sparking inner dialogue—encouraging you to see multiple perspectives and rethink what you know.
The Study Collection (Acrylic)
In this collection, I use acrylics to observe the changes of the land. These paintings focus on landscapes in transition, capturing the gradual shift of the seasons and the slow, geographical changes that shape our environment.
I explore how light and colour move across the earth as time passes. These works represent a visual journey through a changing world, reflecting the transformation of the natural spaces we inhabit.
