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.

Hawaiiana Series
Size
84" x 18"
Material
Surfboard
Kai honors the ocean as lifeforce — the element that shapes the islands and the people who live beside it. Using oils on a resin cast from a full surfboard, Ruben elevates the surfboard from object of sport to vessel of reverence. The elongated form reads like a horizon-line you can hold: ocean energy, movement, and depth distilled into a single statement. Kai invites the viewer into that familiar Hawaiʻi experience — where the sea isn’t background, it’s presence.
