Felipe Schiffrin is a Chilean painter living and working in Santiago, Chile.
His work explores memory, time, and perception through a monochromatic abstract language built upon layers, erasures, and material gestures. His paintings investigate the traces left by experience and the processes through which memories emerge, transform, and shape our relationship with reality.
Originally trained in cinematography and photography, he developed a professional practice spanning more than three decades in image-making. This experience forms a fundamental basis for his current work, where observation, temporality, and visual construction converge with a contemplative inquiry into inner experience.
His painting practice unfolds as an ongoing investigation into presence and absence, permanence and change, understanding painting as a space where memory, perception, and transformation intersect.
