Biography
Domien Ingels (1881 – 1946) is regarded as one of the most important Belgian sculptors of the Art Deco period, alongside Alberic Collin, Thierry Van Rijswijck and Raymond de Meester de Betzenbroeck.

Son of a butcher, Ingels became renowned for his powerful animal figures, captured both in attitude and gesture — particularly draft horses, farmyard animals, and dogs such as the Borzoi greyhound. His favorite subject, however, remained the draft horse.

He studied in the workshops of Domien Van den Bossche and Hippolyte Le Roy, and also attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. In 1900, he became assistant professor there and taught drawing and sculpture until 1941.

Ingels shared a studio at the Béguinage in Ghent with his friend Constant Permeke (1886–1952). He collaborated extensively with the stoneware publisher Roger Guérin in Bouffioulx and with the Maes workshops in Ghent (Ceramaes).

He died in 1946, leaving behind a rich and remarkable body of work. His creations are present in numerous museums as well as in monumental public works throughout Belgium.
