Robert Pereira Hind’s mixed media series ‘Out of Eden’ is minimal and striking. These works are perfect in any setting being luxurious and beautifully decorative by printing photographic ink pigment onto gilded backgrounds on wood. Once the print is dry each piece is coated in shellac and then glazed. An important element of the work is that each piece, over the many years will slowly oxidise and mature in appearance. While the pictures sit on your wall, the golden background will eventually take on a light and very beautiful tarnish and eventually become atmospheric and characterful looking like nature against a moody sky. Each piece will bring colour and light to any environment, ambient light reflects from the works to exude a warm look and feel. ‘I am both responding to the beauty of nature and questioning the nature of beauty. As someone who does not adhere to any kind of religious practice but regularly feels a sense of awe within the natural landscape, it seems fitting to transform natures trees and flowers into secular icons’. Robert Pereira Hind lives in Edinburgh, and is always on the lookout for trees and wild flowers that are both visually striking and isolated. I’ll wait for a day with light cloud and head out with my camera. When I get back at my computer I remove all trace of context, and then experiment with various compositions and layouts to montage several trees or flowers into one image, or sometimes leave the tree isolated.

Robert Pereira Hind is a fine art photographer who received his BA and MA in photography from the London College of Communication and has exhibited his work internationally ever since. His gold leaf series ‘Out of Eden’ is inspired by Byzantine religious iconography and botanical illustration. Pereira Hind feels a sense of awe within the natural landscape, and in this series of works we see him transform wild flowers & trees into a secular icons. An important element of his work is that each piece is completely unique and, over the years, will tarnish and change in appearance. As the gold background oxidises and in turn, metamorphoses, the work will become more atmospheric and dramatic. He loves the idea that each piece will age differently, and each piece will acquire more character over time.
