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.

Kōlea Shore is a hand-carved mixed media surfboard relief by Hawaiʻi artist Ruben Aira Jr., created from a recycled half surfboard. The work features a kōlea shorebird standing along a quiet sandy shoreline, with layered ocean waves and distant island forms carved into the background.
Carved and painted in dimensional relief, Kōlea Shore captures a peaceful moment at the edge of land and sea. The piece reflects Ruben’s ability to transform reclaimed surfboards into fine art that honors Hawaiʻi’s coastal life, native beauty, and the delicate rhythm of the shoreline.
