This combined with his search for the right composition, strength, and tension in his work results in his powerful &#8216;landscapes&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In his work, you find the strength of community, the beauty of architecture, the melancholy of past glory, loneliness, isolation, but also contentment, wonder, silence and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, Tom starts with the base, often a monolith of stone such as granite, marble, slate and sometimes wood. They are the starting point from which the sculpture gradually emerges, in harmony with the base.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><blockquote>\n<p>Nothing is predetermined; the creative process is a continuous voyage of discovery while building.

His work is cast cire perdu. The cast skin of the sculptures is then left intact as much as possible by forcibly cooling the bronzes after casting. This creates a red patina on the casting skin, providing the archaic, individual look that is so apt and appropriate in his work. Most of his works are one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1910\" height=\"2560\" title=\"Bell\u2019Italia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomseerden.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tom-seerden-groot-landschap-15.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-3440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomseerden.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tom-seerden-groot-landschap-15-200x268.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tomseerden.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tom-seerden-groot-landschap-15-400x536.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.tomseerden.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tom-seerden-groot-landschap-15-600x804.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.tomseerden.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tom-seerden-groot-landschap-15-800x1072.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tomseerden.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tom-seerden-groot-landschap-15-1200x1608.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.tomseerden.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tom-seerden-groot-landschap-15.jpg 1910w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3440,"parent":4051,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4043","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
