Starting from the 1980s, Hill began incorporating explorations of symbols and textures into his paintings. Developing his style through hand-tear paper and paint on surface, painting shapes inspired by Tantric paintings from Rajasthan, Hill started to explore his current approach to painting–by adding emphasizing the use of gesso and meticulously polishing the surface of his works, he present a surface texture that is as smooth and translucent as jade, requiring the audience observe and feel in-person.
