Matterhorn

The MatterhornMatterhorn, Cervino, Horu, The Horn...

Many names are given to THE most iconic mountain in the world.

When I first saw him from a summitin the Val d'Hérens I knew it was him. In Switzerland, this mythical summitwith its unique and charismatic shape is regularly mentioned in conversations. When I saw the pyramid in the distance with its pointed summitI recognised it without knowing it...

So we met again at Zermatt and he revealed to me the cloud shows he has the secret of. I was immediately captivated by its shape and unique profile.

My artistic quest led me to photograph it in all seasons, in all weather conditions, in order to take the most beautiful pictures of the Matterhorn.

These years of photography around the Matterhorn during which I contemplated it from every angle were crowned by the achievement of its ascent in September 2020. The emotion on reaching summitwas intense. I understand better my clients who acquire one of my works after having made the ascent.

This experience has changed my relationship and my artistic view of the Matterhorn, which I will continue to photograph throughout my career.
