Peter Weidenbaum (25 July 1968) is a multidisciplinary artist who grew up and studied in Antwerp. He is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Higher Institute of Fine Arts. Currently, he lives and works in the province of Liège, Belgium, and in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. Weidenbaum started as a sculptor, gaining recognition in this field before returning to painting. His permanent installation 'Passing-By,' located in Montgomery Square in the center of Brussels, is one of his most well-known works and is renowned for its unique design and location.

Weidenbaum believes that art can engage in dialogue and address societal issues. He gives his artworks a social dimension, aiming to make the artist an active participant in society. To understand how to transform complex visual information into meaningful paintings or installations that offer insights into the human condition is a question that drives his creative process.
