Original works are hand-carved, painted, and finished by Ruben Aira Jr. in his Oʻahu studio. Each piece is one of a kind — no two are alike.
Every original artwork is crafted by hand with care, patience, and presence. Some pieces take months to complete. Inspired by the spirit of Hawaiʻi, Ruben’s work carries the ocean into the process itself — the sound of waves in every strike of the chisel, every brush stroke, and every final finishing touch.

Material
Fiberglass scraps from surfboards
Cocoon is a small mixed media sculpture by Hawaiʻi artist Ruben Aira Jr., created from fiberglass scraps reclaimed from surfboards. Curled and spiraling fragments in amber, cream, and sage green emerge from a dark marbled base, transforming leftover surfboard material into a dynamic study of movement, renewal, and becoming.
Cocoon captures the electric moment of transformation — fiberglass scraps curl, spiral, and reach outward from a dark marbled base in amber, cream, and sage green. Nothing is still. Everything is becoming. A reminder that the most beautiful journeys happen from the inside out.
