Leonel da Costa is the founder and artisan behind Dartecor.
His education and expertise are in Conservation and Restoration, which enables him to dig deep on a multidisciplinary set of skills and the ability to critically analyze materials, their behaviors and compatibilities.

"My passion for art and the transformation of materials was the catalyst which inspired me to start developing and producing handmade oil paints based on the techniques, historical recipes and materials of old masters.

My continued scholarship on the evolution of artistic painting mediums, coupled with my work in the field of restoration gave me first-hand experience with the lack of professional oil paints available to artists today.

Thus, DARTECOR was born."
