About the work
The Aiguilles Dorées massif stands like an impenetrable wall in the heart of Mont-Blanc. Erecting its summits like defensive towers above the Trient plateau. The Tête Biselx in the center of the picture and the Aiguille de la Varappe, culminating on the right at 3518 metres. The grandiose, unchanging Aiguilles Dorées sparkle in the Swiss Alps in the last hours of the day. And this black-and-white photograph marks our first meeting, forever etched in my memory.
It's 2012 and I'm still discovering the mountains. How beautiful Aiguilles Dorées must be under the summer sun! Their name inspires me, and I'm already dreaming of the play of light and silvery grays. I decide to set up camp at the Trient hut to wait for the moment when the massif reveals its deepest glow. Three days go by before the miracle happens. Three days during which I suffer an intense migraine, as my body is not yet acclimatized to the high mountains. But despite the pain, I continue my quest. Contemplating summits without ever failing. My passion for heights is already stronger than anything.
Until, at the end of the day, I sense the moment I've been waiting for. As the winds pick up aloft, clouds invade the horizon. Dancing in front of the sun to the rhythm of the storm, they form moving shadows on the Trient glacier. Redrawing the landscape and giving a new look to Aiguilles Dorées. Fascinated by such splendor, I wait for the arrival of this special shadow. A unique reflection that will convey all the majesty of this thousand-year-old massif. Admire the power of granite and the splendor of ice. The soaring clouds and the force of the winds. Elements that collide and merge in the setting sun in honor of eternal wilderness.

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!
