“My artistic practice emerges as a means to explore memory, the passage of time, and the complex relationship we have with our existence. In each work, I superimpose layers of sensations, both conscious and unconsciously retained, that still persist in me. These layers function as fragments of memories and emotions that surface during the creative process, evoking traces of history and wear, and allowing me to establish a deeply intimate visual narrative.

The pictorial gesture is transformed into an extension of the body and the psyche, a tool to access what often remains hidden in life experience. Painting emerges as a space for searching and contemplation, where the visual engages in silent dialogue with the emotional. Within that dialogue, I aim to unravel the folds of both individual and collective memory, acknowledging the fragility of time and the way it shapes our perception of self and of the world around us”.

Felipe Schiffrin (Chile, 1969) is a visual artist whose current practice focuses on painting. Initially trained in Audiovisual Communication and Film at the University of Arts, Sciences and Communications (UNIACC). For almost three decades, based mostly in Mexico, he pursued a career as a photographer and cinematographer, collaborating with record labels, fashion magazines, and advertising agencies. Over time, he felt the need to create from his introspective development and found in painting the necessary conditions to express himself fully. He currently resides and works in Santiago, Chile.
