About the work
A fabulous vertical portrait of the Aletschhorn, which rises to an altitude of 4194 metres in the bernese alps. At its foot flows the Aletsch glacier, the largest in the Alps. With no easy access, the top of the mountain has to be earned. I took this black-and-white photograph to highlight the Aletschhorn's magnificent, tormented ridge line. It guides our gaze from the Greieckhorn, which rises to an altitude of 3811 metres, to the Aletschjoch and finally to its summit. As we make our way across, we discover the asperity of its rocks, its storm-ravaged ridges and its cornices newly shaped by the winds.
I've waited many years for this day to come. For the snow to plaster the mountain. For the winter sun to illuminate only its eastern face, leaving its northern slope to rest. Between light and shadow, the Aletschhorn reveals its beauty and immensity. Its vertiginous walls redrawn in this way. Photography blends the worlds I like to work in. The search artistic quest I have for duality and the interplay of light. And my aesthetic quest to highlight the graphic power of mountains. Alternating black and white, solids and textures, lines and curves. The balance is perfect. Contemplating this work lifts us into another world. Let's savor this precious moment that nature offers us and that photography renders eternal.

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!
