about the work
Celestial pleasure at over 4000 meters above Zermatt. The Castor and the Pollux, summits twins of the Valais, rise in the Alps to rub shoulders with the sky. These mountains are among the first that I had the pleasure to climb and admiring them brings back fabulous memories. This sumptuous black and white photograph will give climbers the chance to relive every moment of the great moments they experienced up there.I painted this portrait of Castor and Pollux at the beginning of summer. The first rays of sunshine are beaming down on the snow-covered summits , while the storm has moved on to other lands. The recent snowfalls have not discouraged the climbers, who can be seen on summit du Pollux, right, and on the Castor traverse. Tiny dots, clearly visible on print in large format, their presence highlights the mountain's disproportionate grandeur as well as our paltry size.
In this photograph, I wanted to highlight the beauty of the hanging glaciers that adorn the walls of these high mountains. The freshly deposited snow on the rocks reveals details that were previously invisible. The snow-covered walls and glaciers sparkle in the indirect sunlight. Through silver tones, the summits are revealed in a new light. I love this work for the depth of its brilliance and the truth of its features. Vibrant photograph of life, like an ode to the mythical Castor and Pollux, legendary sons of Zeus.

Description
Celestial pleasure at over 4000 meters above Zermatt. The Castor and the Pollux, summits twins of the Valais, rise in the Alps to rub shoulders with the sky. These mountains are among the first that I had the pleasure to climb and admiring them brings back fabulous memories. This sumptuous black and white photograph will give climbers the chance to relive every moment of the great moments they experienced up there.
I made this portrait of Castor and Pollux at the beginning of the summer. The first rays of the sun are landing on the snowy summits while the storm has left for other lands. The recent snowfalls did not discourage the climbers who can be seen on the summit of the Pollux, on the right, and on the crossing of the Castor. Tiny dots clearly visible on the print in large format, their presence highlights the disproportionate size of the mountain as well as our paltry size.
In this photograph, I wanted to highlight the beauty of the hanging glaciers that adorn the walls of these high mountains. The freshly deposited snow on the rocks reveals details that were previously invisible. The snow-covered walls and glaciers sparkle in the indirect sunlight. Through silver tones, the summits are revealed in a new light. I love this work for the depth of its brilliance and the truth of its features.
