Paul Gauguin – Te raau rahi... 菠蘿選画所 When Gauguin arrived in the South Pacific, he painted the life he dreamed of— A giant tree stands like a guardian, sunlight spills across the grass, and people sit, fetch water, or simply rest. Everything feels calm, slow, and beautifully natural. With bold, unexpected colors, he didn’t paint what he saw— he painted what he felt. A paradise, not a postcard. “Te raau rahi” is like a poem for the land— about simplicity, peace, and our longing for a slower life.
