Felipe Schiffrin is a Chilean visual artist currently dedicated to abstract painting. After studying Audiovisual Communication with a specialization in Film at UNIACC, he built an extensive career as a cinematographer and editorial photographer, an experience that profoundly shaped his approach to image and perception.
Early journeys through the Amazon rainforest, the Petén Basin, and various regions of Africa had a lasting influence on his visual sensibility and his relationship with landscape. Later, during seventeen years living in Mexico, he developed a contemplative perspective in which memory, territory, and lived experience became deeply intertwined.
Upon returning to Chile, he created The Origin, a photographic project developed in solitude in Patagonia, centered on the relationship between nature, silence, and belonging. Through black-and-white imagery, the project explores landscape as a space for contemplation and essential connection.
Since 2021, his practice has been devoted exclusively to painting. Through an abstract and monochromatic language, his works are built through gestures, layered surfaces, and subtle textures that evoke traces of experience and the passage of time.
He currently lives and works in Santiago.
