Odile Kinart was born in 1945 in the Belgian province of Limburg and pursued studies in plastic arts at the Academy of Genk.

She expressed her passion for literature as a secondary school language teacher. And that sensitivity for poetry would further blossom in sculpted art. Odile Kinart has been profoundly inspired by the African art and Pre-Columbian cultures. This Flemish artist became known for her ceramic pieces. Since 1995, the sculptress has favored bronze. She has recently started working with glass and polyester too

Kinart’s work has been exhibited in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Canada and the USA.

Jef Bijnens (born 1935) is the artistic manager and proverbial right-hand of Odile Kinart.

With his communication skills he is able to make Odile's figures speak in different languages. Jef is creative and dynamic. He unconsciously reflects the "subtle invitation to tranquility" that characterizes Odile's work.
