'''Seed of the Areoi (Te aa no areois)''' is an oil painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1892 during his first stay in Tahiti. The painting is a quintessential example of Gauguin's Primitivist style, which he developed after leaving Europe in search of a more "primitive" and "natural" way of life. It depicts a Tahitian woman, who is believed to be Gauguin's vahine (Tahitian wife) Teha'amana, sitting against a richly decorated background of tropical vegetation and enigmatic symbols.

The title of the painting, ''Te aa no areois'', translates to "The Seed of the Areoi," referring to the Areoi society, a social and religious group in pre-colonial Tahiti with a complex mythology and hierarchy. Gauguin's interest in the Areoi society and Tahitian mythology deeply influenced his work, as he sought to capture the essence of Tahitian culture and spirituality, which he perceived as being more connected to the fundamental aspects of human existence than European society.

Measuring 92.1 cm × 72.1 cm (36 1/4 in × 28 3/8 in), the painting is currently housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. ''Seed of the Areoi'' is notable for its bold use of color, stylized figures, and flattened pictorial space, which became hallmarks of Gauguin's style and had a significant impact on the development of modern art. The work is emblematic of Gauguin's post-impressionist period and his contribution to the Symbolist movement, as it combines the artist's personal symbolism with his interpretations of Tahitian culture.

Gauguin's Tahitian paintings, including ''Seed of the Areoi'', have been the subject of much scholarly discussion and critique, particularly with regard to the artist's exoticism and the colonial implications of his work. While Gauguin sought to escape the confines of European civilization, his depictions of Tahiti and its people are now understood as a complex interplay between the artist's imagination and the realities of colonial power dynamics. ''Seed of the Areoi'' remains a significant work for its artistic innovation and its role in the broader conversation about the intersection of art, culture, and colonialism.
