Daniel Dugan
Mixed-media Visual Artist
At 10 years old, Daniel Dugan began his personal, meditative style of art. He drew meticulous labyrinths: “one continuous line” that never intersects and is equally spaced. It was a problem-solving exercise to test his patience and precision. Like labyrinths from centuries ago, the function is a spiritual one: to quiet the mind and wander forward through the path, knowing you will ultimately reach the end.
Over time he came to understand that each work represents the flow of life with its unexpected twists and turns, each adding an unexpected value and balance. With each work, he practices this concept of not knowing where the line will go next.
Based in his Los Angeles, Miami, and Mexico City studios, Dugan’s process appears on paper, canvas, wood, metal, glass, and a range of materials as he creates custom commissions for private homes, luxury properties, and museums around the world.
Dugan’s work was featured in the Art Issue of Angeleno Magazine, Architectural Digest China, El Heraldo de México, Reforma, Quien, Traditional Home, and the Los Angeles Times. Showings include Art Weeks in Miami, Havana, and Mexico City. In an interview with Larry’s List, Art Advisor Celesta Hodge cited Dugan as an artist to watch out for.
