Inside the mind of #PaulaRego.
The late, great Anglo-Portuguese artist’s son Nick Willing is preserving her legacy – and her cast of grotesques. He shows Vanessa Thorpe his mother’s idiosyncratic studio.

A young woman sits in profile in a low teal chair, knees apart, occupying a shallow room with a stubborn solidity. A large dark dog reaches up onto her lap, its slack body heavy and haunches on a floor with a large red flower. With her left hand the girl clamps the animal’s muzzle and tilts its head back; with her right she draws a old/school straight razor along the exposed, already lightened strip of the dog’s throat. Above them a cartoonish duck seems to fly by. Simple furniture, flat floor, and bare wall form a stage-like interior, rendered in chalky, subdued acrylics and emphatic outlines. The compressed space, and the girl’s focused expression heighten the tension between care and menace, making us witness an intimate scene whose purpose is unsettlingly unclear. In this work from the “Girl and Dog” series, Rego converts a seemingly domestic, nurturing act into an allegory of power, discipline, and contained violence. The animal’s pose and enforced stillness suggest a dependent body subjected to “care” that could at any moment turn punitive. The girl’s stance refuses sentimentalized girlhood as she is caretaker, conspirator, and potential executioner in one. Rego’s staging exposes how obedience, grooming, and tending can mask domination, echoing the authoritarian, patriarchal structures she knew under Salazar’s Portugal, where women’s roles were idealized as selfless yet tightly controlled. Painted in mid-1980s London, as Paula Rego navigated her husband Victor Willing’s advancing illness and her own rising recognition, the picture fuses biography, politics, and fable into a pivotal image. The “Girl and Dog” compositions prefigure later series such as The Maids, the Dog Women, and the abortion pastels, where female figures occupy charged, uncomfortable positions of agency. Here, Rego’s theatrical realism, moral ambiguity, and refusal of prettified femininity helped cement her reputation as an artist who stages the brutal undercurrents of domestic life.
