Peter Weidenbaum (born 25 July 1968, Antwerp, Belgium) is a Belgian artist.
From a very early age onwards, he became acquainted with painting.
He maintains that the confrontation with Jean Fouquet's painting "Madonna surrounded by seraphim's and cherubim's" at the Museum of Fine Arts (Antwerp) altered his view on reality.
A different kind of reality became tangible at that instant.Weidenbaum's work cannot define as little style elements or constants.
It is rather an exploration into our culture of images and the materialization of thoughts within the context of art.
We look with our brain.
This is the starting point of his exploration of images; whether it shows itself in sculpture, in an installation or painted on canvas.
Weidenbaum's work is a reaction to the dictatorship of reality and a quest for the metaphysical.
