Korall was the Sea Turtle’s original name, before Aria Luna decided to rename him. We do like the new name…
Soleo the Sea Turtle
2026
Digital illustration
Soleo is the new name, and it’s quite fitting, considering his superpower is to catch the rays of the sun as they hit the water and focus them in a specific direction. On the right you can see what Soleo’s shell looks like when it’s activated with the solar rays.

Hornet was originally created as a hybrid dragon-eel. Now, her ancestral evolutionary line has been upgraded, to that of a bioelectric marine serpent with venomous jellyfish tendrils.

Bogo Mogo
2018
Acrylic and mixed materials on foam core

We thought Bogo Mogo was plenty scary when Aria Luna first created it. Little did we imagine the horror it would become just a few years later…

These fish are literally made of plastic. Not drawn, not painted; made of the stuff. This is what it looks and feels like when plastic replaces biological tissue. Did you know beach plastic, heated by the sun, now melts right into coral chunks scattered in the sand? It’s documented. Look it up.
