Dalton Paula (born 1982) is a Brazilian artist.
Paula's work draws on Afro-Brazilian traditions,[1] and features portraits of contemporary subjects dressed in a historical style.[2] Andrea K. Scott, writing for The New Yorker, has likened the style to retratos pintados, hand-painted photographs from rural Brazil.[2]
