Friederike Feldmann (born 1962 in Bielefeld, Ostwestfalen) studied visual communication and stage design at the UDK Berlin, worked as a stage designer and painter in the first few years after graduating, before giving up theater in favor of painting in 2002. She currently serves as a professor in the Department of Painting at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin.

A strong spatial reference remains a defining feature of her painting. Feldmann approaches painting from a reflective outside perspective - always from new angles - and translates the results of her analytic gaze into an independent formal language. She focuses especially on the core aspects of painting such as gesture, texture, representation and authorship. The question at stake is the potential of contemporary painting as a means of creating authentic human images. Current works are mainly space- related paintings and drawings.
