About the work
Welcome to Switzerland, in the canton of Valais. In the center, Dent Blanche stands out in all its splendor. Culminating at an altitude of 4358 metres, it rises from the earth at the crossroads of the Val d'Hérens, val d’Anniviers and Zermatt valleys. It is accompanied, in the foreground, by its little brother, the Grand Cornier.
The Dent Blanche was nicknamed the "monstrous coquette" by Maupassant. The name suits her so well here, as she appears so majestic and gigantic. It's winter, just after the storm. Frosted by the icy wind and snow that swept over her summit, she rises, fascinating, through the clouds. I was there at just the right moment to capture this magical moment when the mountain is reborn from chaos, touched by the last clouds.
I've been lucky enough to climb summits , and I never tire of exploring its reliefs. Feeling their rocks under my feet gives me a very different feeling from the emotion I feel when I observe them from a distance. They appear like granite fortresses, powerful and unchanging. I love these high summits not only for their altitude, which takes us beyond the world of man, but also for their distinctive aesthetic, both graphic and carnal. These mythical mountains reign over the Valais Alps like pyramids, both sumptuous and immortal. Their razor-sharp faces rise like vertical walls, with vertical drops of over 1,000 metres. Their form is disproportionate and their beauty unparalleled.

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.
