Mata Mua by Paul Gauguin
Mata Mua — meaning 'In Olden Times' — captures Gauguin's vision of a Polynesian world untouched by modernity. Painted in 1892, the composition is dense with figures, trees, and ceremonial movement, rendered in his signature flat planes of saturated colour. Deep greens and burning oranges push against each other with an almost rhythmic intensity. The women in the foreground echo ancient ritual; the landscape behind them feels both dreamlike and grounded. It is one of his most compositionally ambitious works from the Tahitian period.
Printed on canvas in our Berlin studio, this canvas print brings Gauguin's textured brushwork to life with real warmth and surface depth. Archival pigment inks preserve the painting's original colour range — vivid without being harsh. A canvas art print built to last.
