From Sea to Shore
Celebrated Hawai‘i artist Ruben Aira Jr.’s latest masterpiece collection takes the art of surfboard carving to another level. Continually inspired by the sea, the flora and the fauna that populate the land, Aira unveils Noses, Fins and Tails exclusively at Aira Fine Art Gallery—his private art gallery located in the heart of Hawai‘i Kai. This exceptional exhibit, accessible for in-person viewings by appointment only, offers art enthusiasts an immersive experience into an imaginative world of hybrid creatures meticulously sculpted from reclaimed surfboards, symbolizing the essence of the ocean. rubenairajr.com
