Panamarenko, born Henri Van Herwegen (1940–2019) in Antwerp, was a prominent Belgian artist and inventor. He gained international fame with his designs of imaginary vehicles such as airplanes, zeppelins, and flying saucers. His work combines art and technology and demonstrates his profound interest in aviation and mechanics.

According to ArtFacts, Panamarenko ranks among the top 1,000 artists worldwide and is in the top 100 in Belgium. Although he enjoys international prestige, he is not generally regarded as a blue-chip artist in the traditional sense, as his works do not consistently fetch the high auction prices characteristic of this category.
