About the work
In front of us, the famous Aiguilles de Chamonix stand proudly. These sharp peaks punctuate the Mont-Blanc massif and are among the most famous summits in the French Alps. Having braved the storms, here they enjoy the calm of a late winter's day.
Remarkably, color is part of the landscape. Soft, monochromatic, barely perceptible colors, which I chose to preserve to better highlight the beauty of these rocks, both subtle and transcendent.
I particularly like this photograph for its atmosphere. The subdued light seeping through the clouds caresses the snowy peaks and makes the snow-whitened needles glow. I also appreciate this work for its pure, clean lines, which powerfully convey the grandeur of the high mountains. A diagonal connects the Aiguille du Peigne to the Aiguille des Deux Aigles, in the center of the picture, itself protected by the Aiguille du Plan, which towers above it. Horizontality is also present, from the Aiguille du Caïman on the left to the ridge that joins the Aiguille du Midi on the right. This play of contrasts also reveals the beauty of the Aiguille du Plan glacier, which unfortunately melts more and more each year.
The visual effect is striking: we are faced with an impassable, indomitable fortress of stone. Nature offers us here a work of beauty of which she alone has the secret. What a privilege to be able to admire it! These titanic mountains exude such serenity and power. I dream of being able to climb these legendary summits . These sharp, vertiginous heights that have seen the birth of great names and written the history of high-mountain mountaineering over the years.

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!
