Guitar Girl by Tim Nguyen Surfboard Print
Guitar Girl Metal Surfboard Print is an intimate portrait painted with warmth and feeling. Hawaiʻi artist Tim Nguyen draws close to his subject — a Hawaiian wahine cradling a guitar against her cheek, a lavender flower tucked in her hair, lush green tropical leaves surrounding her and golden light glowing behind. Her expression is soft and inward, the way someone looks when the music has already started inside before the first note is played.
Also known as a Hawaiian wahine guitar portrait art print, Hawaii figurative painting wall art, or tropical music scene metal print, this piece sits in a long tradition of Hawaiian art that honors the role of music in island life. The guitar — like the ukulele before it — is woven into the fabric of Hawaiian culture, passed between generations, played on porches and at gatherings, never far from the people who love these islands. Tim Nguyen captures that relationship with a painter's sensitivity and an unmistakable aloha. Printed using dye-sublimation technology onto a specialty cut ChromaLuxe aluminum panel shaped like a surfboard, the warm golden tones, deep greens, and rich figurative detail come alive on metal with a depth that honors the intimacy of the original painting.
Guitar Girl — TN21 is available in seven sizes — one landscape and six portrait orientations: 21"×9" landscape, and portrait in 9"×21", 12"×36", 11"×44", 16"×48", 18"×54", and 20"×60". The portrait orientations are the natural home for this composition — a vertical painting of a woman deserves a vertical frame. Each print comes ready to hang with eyelets included.
Every print is locally produced in Kapolei, HI — made with aloha, right here in Hawaiʻi.
