About the work
Contemplation in front of the famous Biancograt which leads to summit du Pizzo Bianco (3993m); a passage to be taken before reaching Piz Bernina (4048m), summit the highest in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. This ice ridge is one of the most beautiful jewels in the Alps; however, due to the climatic conditions we are all experiencing, it is gradually disappearing.
This work was created after the storm. It has an enchanting look that leaves the viewer dreaming. A few flakes are still twirling in the sky; you can feel the icy breath of the wind and the power with which it slams the snow onto the face of this giant. With this shot, I wanted to offer the viewer a journey between light and shadow along this ridge. The residual clouds of this late storm rise up and lead us to summit , which transcends all human beings once reached. It is the power of the mountain to change us. When we spend time up there, we come down metamorphosed, changed; the very high mountain has this power. It draws out our true being, puts us to the test and reveals our truth.
I particularly like this west face, which emerges from the mist to reveal new edges, new pillars. When the ice has finally disappeared and we can no longer see the graceful curves of Biancograt, a new, steeper mountain will reveal itself. It's my duty as an artist-photographer to immortalize the present, to offer the next generation the memory of what our Alps once were. These works will speak for themselves, they will tell mankind of the beauty of what we were once able to observe, experience and feel... these photos will be the memory of the morning crunch, so lyrical, of a tiny crampon tip venturing, trembling, into the human adventure at over 4000m altitude.

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.
