About the work
Fulgurance of the Matterhorn between two storms. This striking black-and-white photograph of the Matterhorn takes us to the foot of the mountain, in the heart of the Valais Alps. The Hörnli ridge guides our gaze between light and shadow to its summit. The Solvay hut can be seen in the high-resolution image. Further down, the Hörnlihütte is also visible. This venerable ridge was the first to be conquered by man in 1865.
I painted this portrait of the Matterhorn at sunrise. The day before, the fury of the elements had battered the mountain, covering it in snow and sweeping away its rocks. In the early hours of the morning, summit exposes its immaculate face to the first rays of the sun. A giant reveals its renewed splendour to the world. Admire the sumptuous textures that make up its eastern face. The rocks of the north face, in shadow, breathe again after facing the violence of the winds. The absolute whiteness of its south ridge offers powerful contrasts, cutting through the sky with incredible clarity. On its route, Picco Muzio, whose rocks are usually visible, is completely whitewashed. Frost took over the mountain for a few hours, revealing a new face of the Matterhorn, undisputed lord of the Zermatt valley.
A moment of eternity, yet so fleeting. An interlude between two disturbances. Holding my breath, I enjoy the spectacle and immortalize it for you. See this lenticular cloud slowly forming at summit on the Matterhorn. I love it when this phenomenon occurs. A rare gift from nature, it offers inspiring shapes and nourishes my art. With emotion and intensity. With beauty and grandeur. Losing ourselves in its meanders, we suddenly discover evocative shapes. A dragon spitting flames of mist, a bird with outstretched wings. Fruit of our imagination and prelude to our dreams. I've waited so long for this moment. When the combination of elements magnifies the mountain. Giving this photograph its uniqueness and my art its flame.

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.
