Presentation
Dame Paula Rego, DBE (born 26 January 1935), is a Portuguese-born 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 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.
Her work has been subject to retrospective exhibits at the Serpentine Gallery (London, UK), Tate Liverpool (Merseyside, UK), the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Oporto, Portugal) or Casa de Serralves (Oporto, Portugal). She has also held solo exhibitions in such prestigious venues as the National Gallery (London, UK), Tate Britain (London, UK), the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid, Spain), or the Royal Academy of Arts (London, United Kingdom)
Auction records:
„The Cadet and his Sister“, an acrylic on paper on canvas (1988), was sold for 1.614.795 euros at a Sotheby's auction (June 2015), establishing the current artist record.

Distinctions:
