Mona Elshehaby
Rego was born in Lisbon in 1935. She was an only child, her family was wealthy and as such she had a comfortable upbringing. Her father became an electrical engineer for the British firm Marconi but when Rego was born, he was still studying. In 1936, he decided to finish his studies in England and moved to the UK with his wife. The couple left Rego to be looked after by her grandmother, grandfather, and her great-grandfather who was a priest. Rego's parents moved back to Portugal when she was three years old and the family moved to Estoril, near Cascais. They bought a large house, with a big garden, but Rego was frightened of the outside at this point and preferred to stay inside and do drawings. Rego went to school and she was also home schooled. She was taught English by a lady who introduced her to imaginative English literature, including J.M. Barrie's story of Peter Pan. At age ten, she moved to a specialist English school in Portugal. It was called St Julian's, based in Carcavelos and Rego remained there from 1945 to 1951.
This is a picture of me. Hello, my name is Mona I'm from Egypt and my major is marketing. The piece of art that I chose was The Annunciation, by Josefa de Óbidos. I chose this piece of art because I felt that the picture have something make me feel comfortable which mean that this painting indicates purity and trust in the judgment of god, and I was raised and taught to always spread purity, love and sincerity and contentment.
