About the work
The Matterhorn emerges in brilliant clarity. Its freshly snow-covered east face unfurls in sovereign verticality. At an altitude of 4,478 metres, the queen of the Alps imposes her perfect silhouette, a mineral pyramid where light and shadow clash in an infinite dance.
The ridge of the Hörnli stands out powerfully. The morning light underlines it, highlighting its slender trajectory to the summit. The contrast is striking: on one side, the luminous face sparkles; on the other, shadow stretches across the entire mountain.
Behind the Matterhorn, the Alps stretch as far as the eye can see. Ridges intertwine, glaciers sparkle, valleys take shape. Our gaze wanders, but always returns to the pyramid, irresistibly drawn by its perfection.
I've been photographing the Matterhorn for years, and I never tire of it. Every encounter is different, every moment reveals a new facet. Here, purity dominates. Fresh snow covers the face, the summit exudes majesty. The Matterhorn, the mountain of legend, inspires me endlessly. It's my favorite subject, my altitude companion, my timeless muse.
In this black-and-white portrait, I seek to capture the essence of the Matterhorn: the élan of a unique mountain, a symbol of the Alps, at once austere and sublime. A work that bears witness to the eternal fascination of this summit, light and mystery in unison.

Collector's reviews
We were bowled over!
My wife and I are amazed at the quality of print and the rendering of this magnificent photo. We had waited many years to put a picture on this blank wall because we had never "flashed" on a piece of art. Now we've found it, and it fits in perfectly at the entrance to our apartment. What's more, it depicts 3 summits that are particularly close to our hearts: the Weisshorn, Dent Blanche and the Matterhorn - quite a symbol...
We'd like to thank you again for your impeccable service (rapid response to enquiries, hyper-realistic projection of the work on the photos of the wall beforehand). In short, we have nothing to complain about and look forward to seeing you at an opening.

We enjoy it every day!
As former inhabitants of Zermatt, it's hard to forget the Matterhorn, even in a new environment of mountains and nature.we discovered this large photo of the Matterhorn in a gallery, so strong and intense, it was impossible to forget it........ It became obvious that it should adorn our new apartment as a centerpiece.What's more, we had a very sympathetic contact with the artist, who came himself to deliver his work.It's very appreciable and adds a dimension to the object, to know its creator, his passion, the conditions under which it was taken.The texture of the photo resembles a painting, the lights play on it, Next the hours. It seems alive. A real daily pleasure!
