Dame Maria Paula Figueiroa Rego (born 26 January 1935) is a
Portuguese-British visual artist who is particularly known for her
paintings and prints based on storybooks. Rego’s style has evolved from
abstract towards representational, and she has favoured pastels over
oils for much of her career. Her work often reflects feminism, coloured
by folk-themes from her native Portugal.
Rego studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London
and was an exhibiting member of the London Group, along with David
Hockney and Frank Auerbach. She was the first artist-in-residence at the
National Gallery in London. She lives and works in London.
