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

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

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

Ingels shared a studio at the Béguinage in Ghent with his friend Constant Permeke (1886–1952). He also 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 remarkable body of work. His creations are preserved in numerous museums and in monumental works across various Belgian cities.
