"Parau Na Te Varua Ino" (Words of the Devil) is a notable painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first stay in Tahiti in 1892. This work is part of Gauguin's broader quest to escape European civilization and its perceived moral constraints, seeking instead inspiration and a new way of life in the so-called "primitive" cultures of the South Seas. The painting is a vivid embodiment of Gauguin's impressions of Tahitian culture and spirituality, as well as his interpretation of the complex relationship between the indigenous people and the Western missionaries who sought to convert them to Christianity.

The artwork features two Tahitian women, one of whom is whispering to the other, with a dark, ominous figure, interpreted as the devil, lurking in the background. This figure is believed to represent the Christian devil, a concept that was foreign to Tahitian spirituality before the arrival of European missionaries. The painting's title, "Parau Na Te Varua Ino," which translates to "Words of the Devil," along with its visual elements, suggests a critique of the disruptive impact of Western religious and cultural imposition on Tahitian society.

Gauguin's use of bold colors, simplified forms, and the dreamlike, almost abstract background, are characteristic of his post-impressionistic style, which sought to convey emotional or spiritual truths rather than realistic representations. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's fascination with what he perceived as the untainted authenticity of Tahitian culture and his critique of Western moral and spiritual bankruptcy.

"Parau Na Te Varua Ino" is not only a significant work in Gauguin's oeuvre but also an important piece in the broader context of 19th-century European art, reflecting the era's complex attitudes towards colonialism, spirituality, and the search for authenticity. Today, the painting is held in a private collection, but it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance, offering insight into Gauguin's profound yet controversial engagement with Tahitian culture and the broader themes of colonialism and cultural exchange.
