She engages in research, read and reflect and seek information about topics spanning from psychology, philosophy, poetry, alchemy, history and politics (just to mention a few).The impressions she brings home from her numerous journeys, can be called the third collectors’ items she is interested in.Friederike Ruff is a collector of memories. Travelling is an essential constituent of her artwork. The impressions and experiences gathered throughout her journeys become the starting point of stories that develop on the canvas in oftentimes miraculous ways.Friederike Ruff regards the process of image creation as an elevator to the underworld where she encounters her personal inner world, archived impressions and underground channels to the ancient mythical cosmos of archetypes. She uses techniques such as painting, collage, embroidery and installation.In her work she engages with manifestations of the paradox and the linkage of micro and macro cosmos.Friederike Ruff is interested in the interconnection and kinship of the individual and the quintessential, the body in a physical and a metaphorical sense.Comings and goings, mortality, eternity and constant change are my main topics.

About Artist
Abiodun Nafiu Azeez is an accomplished artist with a diverse background in contemporary painting, particularly Osogbo art. However, his true passion lies in abstract expression, where he seeks to promote African art, culture, and nature. Influenced by his artist father, he paints to preserve memories and connect with broader societal concerns.
Abiodun's artistic style is characterized by the abstraction and simplification of human compositions. He employs vibrant oil colors, often focusing on primary colors that transition into secondary and tertiary hues. His subjects stand out against neutral backgrounds, creating a harmonious balance in his paintings. A prominent feature in his works is the use of red, blue, and yellow tones, subtly blended to emphasize form and shape.
His artistic journey includes training under renowned bead painting contemporary artist Jimoh Buraimoh...
