about the work
A magical and ephemeral moment above the clouds. The Bietschhorn, king of the Valais, emerges in the foreground, followed by the Weisshorn, summit the highest of the imperial crown of Zinal. In this almost unreal photograph, these prominent summits of the Swiss Alps seem to be touching, even though in reality they are separated by several kilometers. With my telephoto lens and the focal length I chose, I was able to bring the mountains virtually closer together, giving the picture a wonderful, timeless dimension.In this portrait of Bietschhorn and the Weisshorn, the contrasts are soft. This is how my work evolves over time. The confrontation of light and shadow gives way to the harmony of lighter tones. A delicate artistic path to take when one wants above all to transmit the absolute power of the mountain. A challenge successfully taken up here as the atmosphere that emerges from the image is extraordinary.
That day, the clouds suddenly broke to reveal the summits. Window opened on the splendor of the high mountain. A moment of grace that lasted only a fraction of a second before the mist engulfed the rocks again. On this dreamlike panorama, the two mountainous islands seem to float above the fog. Sublime nature in its wild state, absolute beauty of a mountain that nothing equals, purity of lines and perfect balance of the elements. What an incredible privilege to have been able to become one with nature to immortalize this sumptuous Alpine landscape!
This celestial beauty soothes me as much as it hypnotizes me. It inspires me for future ascents as it brings me back to my fondest memories of mountaineering. This photograph seems to come from another world. It invites us to dream and to contemplate. When you look at it, you can easily imagine the birth of the universe or the existence, light years away, of a dazzling planet made of rock and ice. I am moved to have been able, through my art, to bring back from the world above this fragment of the infinite beauty of a nature that escapes us. Above the clouds, man is indeed welcome only when the mountain and the elements decide it. Irreparably.
