Celebrate the beauty and tradition of Hawai‘i with Lei Aloha, a 24x36 original palette knife oil painting by Honolulu-born artist Ed Furuike. With bold texture and radiant color, Furuike brings the timeless symbolism of the Hawaiian lei to life, creating a work that glows with movement, depth, and aloha.
Ed Furuike, born and raised in Honolulu, began painting in 1975 and studied under renowned artist Hiroshi Tagami, where he discovered his enduring passion for the palette knife technique. His signature style—using heavy impasto and impressionistic strokes—creates luminous works that reflect both the strength and subtlety of island life. Collectors around the world are drawn to his paintings for their ethereal quality and deep emotional resonance.
A lei is more than a necklace of flowers—it is a symbol of love, honor, and connection. In Lei Aloha, Furuike captures this essence through bold strokes, layered petals, and glowing colors, offering not just a painting but a living expression of the aloha spirit. This work invites viewers to feel both the cultural richness of Hawai‘i and the warmth of human connection.
