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.

Original carved from surfboard noses and tails
The Seaflower represents the merger of land and sea, and also the life and culture here on the islands. The people of Hawaiʻi spend their lives between these two worlds, embraced by the endless beauty above and below the surface of the ocean. These sculptures are a fusion of my love of the plants and sea creatures that surround me, an imagined manifestation of the spirit of life here on the islands. I have used the noses, tails, and fins of retired and broken surfboards for these creations, reincarnating them into creatures of an imagined world.
