During the winter of 2024-2025, four exceptional locations hosted my work. Four settings, four atmospheres, but only one muse who inspires and guides me: the high mountains. These photographic exhibitions in the Alps have given me the chance to meet you. You, art lovers or curious passers-by, lovers of nature and high summits, world adventurers or figureheads. Here's a look back at some of the highlights.

Photographic exhibition at the Club Alpin de Champex-Lac

In the refined ambience of the Hôtel Spa du Club alpin de Champex-Lac, you had a rendezvous this winter with the most prodigious mountains. In the heart of nature, and so close to the peaks that inspired them, I conceived this exhibition as an intimate and profound conversation. A face-to-face encounter with the peaks. An invitation to feel the soul of the high summits, the breath of the wind that covers them with snow, the power of their rock that seems unshakeable. And more than any other mountain, the exhibition featured the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. I dedicated my most monumental works to these majestic rulers. Emblems of the Alps and so dear to our hearts. The shadows and light on their bleached walls offer us a suspended moment in the world. A pure, wild and grandiose realm.

Being invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos as Cultural Leader 2025 was an unforgettable experience. To be recognized on this occasion as one of the creative personalities of the year is a mark of recognition that touches my heart. It's a tribute to nature, to the beauty of the Alps and to the power of art. My photographs were presented in huge formats. Never before have I seen my works conquer space and the attention of visitors in this way. The relief, the lines, the raw material sublimated by light and shadow. The mountain seemed reborn from every detail, giving my art new life. A reinvented work with a strong message. An ambassador for the Alps and their heritage. Of their beauty now fragile, of their greatness now threatened. A powerful gesture at a time when the future, ecology and commitment are at the heart of our concerns. I'd like to thank the WEF team once again for allowing me to share the majesty of the Alps with the world's leaders.

The union of my art and nature reaches its apogee here. The panorama that opens before your eyes continues the story of my photographs. Twelve large-format works as a tribute to the Alps and their history. A celestial dialogue between the elements. From black and white to color, from diffuse shadows to the brightness of daylight, an astonishing journey where two worlds mingle. Like a return to our roots, a plunge into the heart of immensity. Serene, imposing and remarkable. The exhibition of my photographs at the Hotel Chetzeron will run until the end of summer 2025. And I promise you a breathtaking artistic experience.

In Geneva, Galerie Krisal is one of my most loyal partners. My work was shown there again this winter. Bonds are forged and strengthened when encounters are so beautiful. I was delighted to see so many of you at the opening of this exhibition. Long-time customers and new faces alike, we exchanged ideas about the mountains, their sublime flights of fancy and their naked truth. Our shared love for this exceptional landscape. I enjoyed talking to you and the Krisal gallery team. This is how my art evolves, is passed on and flourishes.

Photographic exhibitions in the Alps : Towards new summits

This winter, my work was received in prestigious venues. On the international and cultural scene, my mountain portraits highlighted the splendor of the Alps. Their priceless, yet fragile heritage. And I thank you for coming to see them. To contemplate, to feel, to question the world, and to believe in the value of wild nature.

Every mountain photograph is an adventure. A dream, an expectation, an uncertainty. The walk, the flight and then the silence. Until the winds unite with the sun to offer me a vertiginous spectacle. A moment of magic and pure emotion. So it's my duty to seize it and pass it on to you. Many thanks to all of you who have come to discover my photographic exhibitions, from one site of the Swiss Alps to another. I look forward to seeing you again in a few months' time for new encounters in honour of the treasures of the high mountains.
