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.

Rising toward the warmth of the sun, and radiating energy, the figure in this image is an inspirational depiction of life at its best, when the truest self is attained and expressed without inhibition. Shine is one of four in a series called the Sratalux Paintings, meaning “layers of light.” These paintings were inspired by the technique Ruben developed to paint his carvings.
