Meet Ike Akamai, the enigmatic artist with a penchant for tiki and exotica themes, Ike's art is a vivid tapestry of suggestive imagery that transports viewers to far-off tropical paradises.
Drawing inspiration from the cubist and primitive art movements, Ike's work is a mesmerizing fusion of bold shapes and hues of blue and green, echoing the influences of Art Deco as well as vintage Exotica record covers and lowbrow Tiki art.

Amidst his escapades, Ike found love on the islands, resulting in two beautiful children, Awhina and Haukea. With each visualization, Ike brings his captivating experiences to life, inviting viewers to embark on their own exotic journey through his work.
