A contemporary transdisciplinary artist exploring Egyptian cosmology, non-linear time, and visual narrative through large-scale conceptual systems.
Dan Aug is the artistic identity of Daniel Augusto Chiesa Lanaro, a contemporary visual artist and author based in Montevideo, Uruguay.
His methodology is based on transdisciplinary systems where visual structures generate narrative meaning, aligning with contemporary expressionism and cosmological abstraction.
His work investigates space-time, perception, and existence through Egyptian cosmology translated into contemporary visual language.
The series Dream of a Night in Giza (2002–2019) consists of 46 conceptual works, expanded into the novel The Legacy of Neferu.
His work has been exhibited or engaged with in contexts including Carrousel du Louvre, Florence Biennale, and Art Expo New York.
