Moreen Austria, or Mox, to her inner circle is an artist whose works cross from sculptures, paintings and installations, navigating the layers of self, relationships and society, seeking identity and spaces of articulation and expression. The physical nature of working with metal sculptures she finds therapeutic, but discovered satisfaction in working with concepts, community, and collaborative projects with local literature and contemporary dance.

Her exhibition grant, Lawig, at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 2016 which probed on the peculiar socio-cultural relationship of the neighboring islands she grew up and spent significant time between, awakened a sensibility to her locality. She began exploring community engaging art projects. In 2017, her work De-ling which spoke of the emphasis on social status, religion of the 1950s Negrense dogma that shaped the local society, became the first contemporary full length ballet in the Visayas based on a sculptural installation.

In the same year, she won the Grand Award for Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (MADE) for Sculpture Recognition, which opened opportunities for ongoing public art projects. Her passion to pursue art open for local community engagement remains but what drives her work is her satisfaction in the processes of each creation.

Austria has participated in various local and international exhibitions.
