Robert Pereira Hind’s Castanea Sativa In Excelsis, a striking mixed media artwork depicting a majestic sweet chestnut tree in full golden autumn foliage, surrounded by small black birds in flight. Set against a luminous gold-leaf background, the composition balances natural beauty with refined minimalism. Created using acrylic paint and organic photographic pigment on a gilded wooden panel, finished with shellac and art glazes. The gold surface will naturally oxidise over time, creating a rich patina.

CASTANEA SATIVA IN EXCELSIS (Original)

Robert Pereira Hind’s Out of Eden series captures botanical elegance in a fusion of fine art photography and gilded craftsmanship. Minimal yet striking, each piece blends contemporary technique with timeless beauty, designed to evolve gracefully over the years.

  • Medium & Process: Acrylic paint and organic photographic pigment on gilded wooden panel, finished with shellac and art glazes.
  • Influences: Inspired by 18th-century botanical studies and the opulent gold leaf techniques of Gustav Klimt.
  • Aging Process: Gilded surfaces naturally oxidise over 10–20 years, developing a soft patina and atmospheric depth.
  • Display Impact: Radiates warmth as ambient light reflects from the golden background, bringing colour and luminosity to any space.
