Biografia

Paula Rego (1935 to 2022) was a Portuguese-born painter who worked in London for most of her life and became one of the most important figurative artists of her generation. Her pastels and paintings turn fairy tales, folk stories and family memory into sharp studies of power, gender and control, often with a dark sense of humour. She trained at the Slade and in 1990 became the first Associate Artist of the National Gallery in London. Her market has grown fast since her 2021 Tate retrospective and her death in 2022: in October 2025 a Dancing Ostriches triptych set a new auction record at Christie's London, confirming strong demand for her major 1990s pastel series.
