'''Oviri''' is a ceramic sculpture created by the French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin in 1894. The name "Oviri," which means "savage" or "wild" in Tahitian, reflects Gauguin's fascination with and romanticized interpretations of the cultures of Tahiti and the broader South Pacific, where he spent several periods of his life. The sculpture depicts a powerful figure that is part woman, part wolf, and part goddess, embodying themes of life, death, and rebirth that preoccupied Gauguin during his later years.

Standing at 75 centimeters tall, Oviri is one of Gauguin's most significant and enigmatic works in three dimensions. The figure is shown with a large, wild mane of hair, heavy-lidded eyes, and an expression that is both menacing and serene. She clutches a wolf cub in her arms, which she appears to be strangling, while another lies at her feet, suggesting a narrative of both maternal affection and destructive power. The sculpture's rough, almost primitive style is indicative of Gauguin's departure from traditional European artistic conventions and his embrace of what he perceived to be the untamed, raw qualities of non-Western art forms.

Oviri's creation coincided with a period of personal turmoil for Gauguin, marked by a struggle for artistic recognition, financial difficulties, and deteriorating health. The sculpture can be seen as a reflection of his inner state, as well as his desire to break away from the constraints of Western society and its artistic traditions. Gauguin intended the piece to serve as a marker for his grave, symbolizing his ultimate return to the earth and his identification with the primitive forces he saw in the cultures of the Pacific Islands.

Today, Oviri holds a place of prominence in the history of modern art, recognized for its influence on 20th-century artists and its role in the development of primitivism in European art. The sculpture is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its complex symbolism, emotional depth, and its pivotal role in Gauguin's artistic journey.
