Pacific Tribal

Arturo Calderón is carving out a unique niche by transforming repurposed surfboards into stunning works of art. Evidenced in his 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. One of the most striking aspects of Calderón's work is his commitment to repurposing old, discarded surfboards. In an era where sustainability has become a key concern, Calderón has found a way to breathe new life into boards that may otherwise have been relegated to the landfill. The surfboards themselves, often worn or damaged from years of use, become a canvas that tells a new story—a story of renewal, reinvention, and respect for the environment.
