Friederike Ruff is specialized in collage, painting, and textile art. She believes that through creative inter-connections we can bring up new ideas, meanings, and opportunities.

Apart from working in her studio and exhibiting her art works in galleries and museums, she engages in social art projects that help people discover and explore their creativity.

With a deep interest in psychology, sociology, and metaphysics, in her personal artwork she engages with symbols, patterns, archetypes, and rhythms of life.

She is focused on topics such as the connection between individual and collective, as well as the body in a physical and metaphysical sense.

She combines concepts derived from natural science with philosophical ideas, creating unexpected and surprising meanings, thus shedding new light on basic concepts of life such as growth, change, and transformation.

Her desire to bring art closer to people led her to the creation of Kano Cards – collage-based association cards that help people use art and creativity for reflection and self-discovery.
