Dalton Paula (born 1982) is a Brazilian artist.
His work is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York,[1] the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami,[2] Art Institute of Chicago,[3] and the São Paulo Museum of Art.[4] Paula's work draws on Afro-Brazilian traditions,[5] and features portraits of contemporary subjects dressed in a historical style.[6] Andrea K. Scott, writing for The New Yorker, likened the style to retratos pintados, hand-painted photographs from rural Brazil.[6]
