Limited edition pieces are produced in small runs and hand-finished by Ruben himself. Each carries an original touch — no two reproductions are identical.
These editions honor the spirit of the original while making Ruben’s work more accessible. Each piece is individually finished by hand, giving every edition its own character, texture, and presence. Though part of a limited run, each one still carries Ruben’s direct touch and the living influence of Hawaiʻi.
"Awaken"
Museum Collection Miniature Surfboards
- Limited Edition -
“Awaken” Miniature Surfboards are reproductions of the original sculptures made from resin and wood. Every piece is hand-painted by the original artist, Ruben Aira Jr., in oils. These pieces measure 7.5" x 13.5" and come mounted on wood. Awaken reveals the quiet moment when consciousness rises from nature itself. Flowing botanical forms, curling wave motifs, and soft plumeria tones frame a serene face emerging from layers of green and sea-washed color. In this miniature format, Ruben distills the essence of Hawaiiana into an intimate scale — where ocean energy, growth, and spirit converge. The work feels both organic and symbolic: a reminder of connection to land and sea, and of the inner awareness that surfaces when one moves in harmony with nature. Though small in size, Awaken carries the same reverence and presence as its larger counterparts, inviting reflection and calm. Each art piece is unique, no two reproductions are the same. Most reproduction art pieces are hand finished by Ruben himself. Made in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.
