Getting acquainted with Inge Kennis: paintings right out of the heart. Inge Kennis was born on 5 September 1978, in Leuven, Belgium..

As a child she was already very fascinated by nature and by animals. She always hung with the peasant horses or the racehorses or the dogs of the neighbors. She had a grandfather who always took her into the garden to focus her attention on the birds and other animals. She loved to be outside. Animals have always attracted her, because they radiate so much honesty, so much love to give and receive,... unconditionally. That radiance is mainly in the eyes and that is trying to show them as if they really live. You get happy when you look at it. Even painting makes you happy, it's just as if the beast always looks at you with his playful or his serious gaze.

As a little girl intrigued nature and the game of shapes, light and shadow hair and she began to capture this on paper. Soon grew her love for the pencil drawing. Together with her sister Ann who is two years older, she was dropped in the morning in her grandparents' farm. Together they took hours to draw and was striking that they were much more detailed in comparison to other children, even though. Her sister loved more of landscapes and flowers. The preference for animals and humans was previously preferred.
