Paul Gauguin said "I am leaving in order to have peace and quiet. To be rid of the influence of civilization. I only want to do simple, very simple art and to be able to do that, I have to immerse myself in virgin nature, see no one but savages, live their life, with no other thought in my mind but to render, the way a child would, the concepts formed in my brain and to do this with the aid of nothing but the primitive means of art, the only means that are good and true"
His works were a representation of the beauty he found in nature and the simplicity of life.
He wanted to capture the scenes he encountered in his own unique style. He hoped to bring the beauty of nature to others through his art.
He was inspired by the textures, colors and shapes he found in the outdoors and wanted to share that with others. He believed that his works could bring joy and serenity to viewers. He hoped his art could bring peace and tranquility to those who appreciate it.
