The work of artist Felipe Schiffrin is situated within a profound inquiry, where memory and time emerge as recurring themes. Through painting, his practice articulates a dialogue between expressive gesture and compositional structure, investigating the tension between the defined and the undefined, the material and the ethereal. The black color is established as a field of infinite potential, evoking the depths of the subconscious and the unknown. White contrasts interrupt this dark expanse as ephemeral flashes of clarity, producing a visual poetics that oscillates between uncertainty and revelation, capturing the fragility of time and the continual transformation of reality. Schiffrin’s works propose open-ended spaces of interpretation, inviting the viewer into a process of introspection wherein form and chaos are interwoven, reflecting the complexity of the inner world and the ever-shifting nature of perception.
