Sustainable Art from the Ocean

Arturo Calderon transforms repurposed surfboards into unique works of art inspired by the culture and spirit of the Pacific, his Mexican roots, and his love of surf culture. Evidenced in bold, evocative designs that pay homage to the culture and spirit of the Pacific, Calderón’s work blends his early love for art, his Mexican roots, and the surf culture of Southern California. His creations are not just pieces of craftsmanship; they are stories and symbols, each stroke and color echoing the legacy of the Pacific Tribes and the vibrancy of his own life’s journey.

Every board has a story.

Arturo's work begins with surfboards that have already lived a life. Rather than allowing worn or discarded boards to end up in a landfill, he transforms them into canvases for new artistic expression. The result is more than craftsmanship. Each board becomes a story of renewal, reinvention, and respect for the environment.
