Πάουλα Ρέγκο

Η Μαρία Πάουλα Φιγκεϊρόα Ρέγκο (Dame Maria Paula Figueiroa Rego ; 26 Ιανουαρίου 1935 - 8 Ιουνίου 2022) ήταν Πορτογαλίδα οπτικοακουστική καλλιτέχνης, περισσότερο γνωστή για τους πίνακες και τις εκτυπώσεις της τα οποία βασίζονται σε παιδικές ιστορίες. Το ύφος της Ρέγκο εξελίχθηκε από το αφηρημένο στο αντιπροσωπευτικό ενώ στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος της καριέρας της προτίμησε το παστέλ αντί για το λάδι. Το έργο της αντανακλά συνήθως τον φεμινισμό, ο οποίος χρωματίζεται από λαϊκά θέματα της ιδιαίτερης πατρίδας της Πορτογαλίας.

Η Ρέγκο σπούδασε στο Slade School of Fine Arts, στο Πανεπιστήμιο του Λονδίνου και παρουσίασε έργα της στο London Group, μαζί με τους David Hockney και Frank Auerbach. Ήταν η πρώτη καλλιτέχνης που παρουσίασε έργα της στην Εθνική Πινακοθήκη του Λονδίνου. Κατοικούσε και εργάζονταν στο Λονδίνο.
