About the work
Breathtaking panorama of the high mountains of the Ecrins National Park in the French Alps. Dominating the horizon, the Dôme de neige des Écrins and the Barre des Écrins are the most westerly summits 4000-meter peaks in the Alps. At 4101 metres, the Barre is the highest peak in the Écrins massif. As for the Dôme de neige, it is renowned for being a very easy mountaineering route. But with changing weather conditions, the crevasses in its glaciers are opening up, and hikers now heading for summit are exposed to falling seracs. More experienced mountaineers can traverse from the Dôme to summit de la Barre des Écrins.
I waited ten years to take this impressive panoramic photograph. Before nature agreed to offer me this spectacle. I took this photograph when summits had just weathered a spring storm. The first rays of sunlight illuminated the mountain, freshly adorned with snow. The moment lasted only a few seconds. The clouds parted, barely allowing the mountain to breathe before closing in on it again.
With this work, I wanted to take you on a journey to the heart of the high-mountain realm. The painting's dramatic intensity stirs our emotions. The softness of the contrasts sublimates the strength of summits. In the foreground, Pic de la Grande Ruine and Pic Bourcet endow the photograph with a celestial depth. They highlight the exceptional scale of the Dôme de neige des Écrins and the Barre des Écrins. Purity and grandeur, that's what I want to convey about the high mountains. In this photograph, I share with you my vision of the kingdom above. A synergy of snow-capped mountains, suspended seracs, tapering ridges and sharp peaks. A world of rock and ice carried by the interplay of clouds and light. The very essence of my art.

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!

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.
