With a master's degree in theater,- film and media, Katja Moritz worked in the field of photography in Vienna and New York for many years before expanding into painting.

Her paintings are expressive and multi-layered. Rich in color and depth, the artist’s daily observations are reflected in most of her work. These visual collections as well as her personal experiences find ultimate appearance on the canvas, often also in fictional characters and vague storytelling of them and their environment. 

Her drawings are mainly minimalistic and intuitive. The process of creating these has influence on the canvas, as her paintings often include elements of patterns and lines. As an appreciation for the importance and the fragile intimacy of these, which often are overlaid in a painter’s process and often overlooked in nature, city’s streets and grid and humans and such.

She lives and works in Vienna, sometimes New York.
