Born in Brasília, Brazil, Dalton Paula developed his practice through a focus on painting and installation. His work frequently engages with the visual representation of Black identity, utilizing archival research to reclaim the stories of individuals marginalized by colonial and post-colonial historiography.
His signature approach involves the use of oil painting on canvas, often characterized by a distinct aesthetic that bridges historical documentation and contemporary artistic intervention. His practice is deeply rooted in the investigation of memory, resistance, and the cultural heritage of the African diaspora in Brazil.
Paula has gained significant international recognition for his contributions to contemporary art, with his work featured in major institutional exhibitions and biennials. His practice continues to be a focal point for discussions regarding the role of art in addressing historical erasure and social justice.
