Sculpture, for Robert Hinds, is his “ticket to ride.” He says, “Form and line, and observation, are the tools of the passage of my self-discovery. The search for whatever I might find. The reward is in the doing. If others can relate to my work, it’s a plus."
After years of studying illustration and having a successful graphics career Robert Hinds found that he was attracted more towards the third dimension, and so he gave up his career to concentrate on sculpture.
Living and traveling in Europe for ten years gave him valuable exposure. He found special value in studying the traditional skills involved in lost wax casting in Italy, creating and working at an art foundry at Bologna.
He also spent some time working for the United Nations in the Caribbean, teaching and directing the production of art and handcrafted objects based on the local ethnic traditions and history in under-developed countries.
Working mainly in bronze, his work is owned by private collectors in the U.S. as well as in England, France, Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands.
