About the work
The Biancograt is one of the legendary ridges of the Swiss Alps, and one of the most aesthetically pleasing in the canton of Graubünden.
After a long, meditative approach walk, climbers take it like tightrope walkers to reach, first of all, summit on the Pizzo Bianco (3993m), whose immaculate white blends here with impetuous clouds, giving the impression of treading a universe on the border between earth and sky. Then it's the final march to Piz Bernina (4048m), the only 4000m in the chain of the same name. Here, it appears discreetly, piercing the clouds.
This photo touches me for several reasons.
It's one of those bewitching, mystical shots that invite us to dream. It took me some time to capture this moment. It's all there: the smoking ridge, just emerging from a spring storm; the contrast between the glistening ice and the black rocks; the epiphany of Piz Bernina; the ternary rhythm between Biancograt, Pizzo Bianco and Piz Bernina.
For me, this ridge is like a celestial or sacred path; a path whose existence, however, is not eternal, as global warming continues its inescapable work. In several decades' time, I fear that this photograph will become one of the last testimonies to a ridge that was once still encased in ice. The mountain changes, the summits are transformed, the pure lines are altered... and me up there, who am I? a photographer of chaos, a hunter of truth.

Collector's notice
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!
