Ruth Scheibler

Ruth Minola Scheibler is a visual artist and designer based in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Her focus is on mosaic processes and materials - working in fine art and temporary installations as well as private, public, commercial commissions, and teaching.

“I am fascinated by the process of decomposing and recomposing things, both physically and metaphorically speaking. I like to take up motifs from mythology, biology, and geology and develop them into a whole new context. From microcosm to macrocosm, from the entity to unity always looking for the essential. I investigate the connection between material properties and their associations, handmade pixels somewhere between the second and the third dimensionality. I am passionate about texture, reflections, and color synthesis and you can easily find me collecting whatever tiny pieces get in my way. I believe in the future of true craftsmanship as well as in the transcendental force of art.”
