“My artistic practice adopts a perspective in which the creative process and formal elements serve as means to explore abstract aspects of human experience, such as perception, memory, and the passage of time. In each work, I layer sensations, both conscious and unconscious, that still linger within me. These layers act as fragments of memories and emotions that emerge during the creative process, evoking traces of history and wear, and allowing me to construct a deeply intimate visual narrative.

The painterly gesture becomes an extension of the body and psyche, a tool for accessing what often remains hidden in lived experience. Painting thus emerges as a space for inquiry and contemplation, where the visual engages in a silent dialogue with the emotional. Within that dialogue, my aim is to unravel the folds of individual and collective memory, acknowledging the fragility of time and the ways in which it shapes our perception of ourselves and the world around us”.

Felipe Schiffrin is a Chilean-born artist whose current work centers on painting. He began his creative path in film and photography, studying Audiovisual Communication at the University of Arts, Sciences, and Communications (UNIACC). He spent nearly three decades living mainly in Mexico, where he developed an extensive career as a photographer and cinematographer, collaborating with record labels, fashion magazines, and advertising agencies.

Over time, his visual work became intertwined with a deeper personal search: a process of introspection, the study of ancestral philosophies, and contemplative practice. This inner journey, nurtured through meditation and symbolic connection with nature, redefined his relationship with image and creative expression.

In painting, he found the space to integrate these experiences, creating work that explores the unseen: what remains latent, what consciousness left behind but the body still remembers. His artistic practice today is an extension of his spiritual path, a way of navigating the boundaries between memory, time, and perception, and of translating inner landscapes into subtle forms.

He currently lives and works in Santiago, Chile, where he develops his work while deepening his daily spiritual practice, combining creation and contemplation as a way of life.
