"Aha Oe Feii?" (Are You Jealous?), sometimes referred to as "What! Are You Jealous?" is a notable painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first stay in Tahiti in 1892. This work is part of a series that Gauguin produced while exploring the themes of native life, culture, and the lush landscapes of the island, which he saw as an idyllic paradise untouched by the influence of European civilization.

The painting depicts two Tahitian women sitting on the ground, one dressed in a mission dress and the other in traditional Tahitian attire, which reflects Gauguin's interest in the contrast between the indigenous ways of life and the influence of colonialism and missionaries. The title, "Aha Oe Feii?", is written in the upper left corner of the canvas and is a question in Tahitian that translates to "What! Are You Jealous?". This question hints at a narrative of emotional tension or rivalry, which is a common theme in Gauguin's Tahitian works.

Gauguin's use of bold colors, simplified forms, and strong outlines in this painting is characteristic of his style during this period, which was influenced by the Synthetist movement, aiming to synthesize the outward appearance of natural forms, the artist's feelings about their subject, and the purity of the aesthetic considerations of line, color, and form. The painting is also notable for its departure from European artistic conventions and its embrace of a more liberated approach to representation, which was inspired by Gauguin's experiences in the South Pacific.

"Aha Oe Feii?" is considered an important work in Gauguin's oeuvre, as it encapsulates his search for an alternative to the industrialized world and his romanticized view of Tahitian culture. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the Primitivism movement and is frequently discussed in the context of Gauguin's complex legacy, which includes both his artistic innovations and the controversial aspects of his life and interactions with the Tahitian people.

The painting is part of the collection of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, Russia, and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its vivid imagery, thematic depth, and its pivotal role in the development of modern art.
