Te Arii Vahine - Opoi (The King's Wife - Opoi) is an oil painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1896 during his first stay in Tahiti. The painting is a vivid depiction of a Tahitian woman, which is a recurring subject in Gauguin's work following his departure from France and subsequent relocation to Tahiti in an attempt to escape "European civilization" and what he considered its artificial constructs. Gauguin sought to capture the essence of the native culture, which he perceived as more connected to the natural world and its elemental forces.

In Te Arii Vahine - Opoi, Gauguin employs a palette of rich, earthy tones and bold outlines that became characteristic of his Tahitian period. The woman is portrayed in a relaxed pose, indicative of the tranquility Gauguin associated with Tahitian life. Her gaze is direct yet possesses a contemplative quality, reflecting the artist's fascination with the spiritual and emotional depth he attributed to the Tahitian people. The background, though somewhat abstract, suggests a lush, tropical landscape that frames the subject and enhances the exotic allure of the scene.

This work is part of a broader series in which Gauguin explored the themes of beauty, nobility, and the natural way of life of the Tahitian people, contrasting these elements with the corruption and decay he perceived in Western society. Te Arii Vahine - Opoi not only exemplifies Gauguin's style and thematic focus during his years in Tahiti but also contributes to the broader understanding of his artistic and cultural legacy. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the primitivist movement that influenced many artists in the early 20th century.
