Irénée Duriez gained fame as a sculptor and maker of mainly female figures. Bronze is his building material, the sculpture his language. He sees the living model as a stimulus, as a source of creativity, which intrigues, touches and seduces him in its different attitudes, points of view, sensitivities and emotions. In his figures, Irénée wants to display perfection and sensitivity, to praise his craftsmanship and creativity and to show respect for the body shape of his model. His sculptures reflect his vision of sculpture and portray a feminine and thriving sensual archetype
