About the work
Portrait of the Aiguille du Midi, in the heart of France's Mont-Blanc massif. The world-famous summit is equipped with a lift that takes you up to the enchanting realm of the high mountains in just a few minutes. Transported to an altitude of 3842 metres, a new world is easily opened up to everyone, whatever their physical condition, and beyond the will of the heavens.
We're here at the end of the day, just after the storm. Calm has returned, the mountain is calming down. The Aiguille du Midi is just emerging from the fog, still numb from the onslaught of the wind. Two or three times a year, the magic happens. When the conditions are right, when temperature, snow and wind come together in symbiosis, the Aiguille suddenly appears coated in a fabulous plasterwork. It's a miracle of which nature alone has the secret. The image is unique every time, varying with each episode of precipitation. I've been trying for years to unravel the mystery of this phenomenon, but it remains, over and over again. As ephemeral and impenetrable as the most precious masterpieces created by nature.
The Aiguille du Midi rises majestically, piercing the sky and fog. In the background, giving depth to the shot, the Grandes Jorasses peaks rise out of a sea of clouds like a glittering wall. In the company of the Dôme de Rochefort and Mont Mallet, they offer their freshly snow-covered faces to the softness of the first rays of sunshine.

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!

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.
