Loet Vanderveen

Loet Vanderveen was born in Holland and now lives in Big Sur, California. The Big Sur coastline is incredibly conducive to Loet’s creativity. The remote area with an abundance of wildlife, coupled with his love for animals, prompted Loet to first create animal forms in ceramic clay.

Striving for a more sophisticated and graceful image, he ventured into designing animals in bronze. His unique bronze sculptures (with patinas of ebony brown, burgundy red, jade green and silver grey) are highly polished to enhance and accentuate the dimensional surfaces.

These uniquely stylized interpretations are appreciated by distinguished collectors worldwide including H.M. Queen Elizabeth, President and Mrs. Reagan, and the Sultan of Oman.
