Sijs was born in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1880. He studied art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. After graduating, he traveled to the Netherlands and France, where he was influenced by the work of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

Sijs returned to Belgium in the early 1900s and settled in the coastal town of Ostend. He began painting the local landscape and the people who lived and worked there. He was particularly interested in painting the fishing boats and the fishermen who worked on them.
