About the work
Portrait of two indomitable men at the top of the world. The Dent Blanche and the Grand Cornier rise up out of the sky in the Valais Alps. In the foreground of the photograph, the Grand Cornier rises like a frosted island in the heart of an ocean of mist. On the horizon, Dent Blanche watches over him, a legendary younger brother. From the arête des Quatre Ânes to the arête de Ferpècle, she suggests we embark on the most intense of journeys. While on the left, hidden in the shadows, the Matterhorn contemplates this exceptional spectacle.
I love the poetry that emerges from this work. The symmetry of the forms, the elegance of the lines. And the echo of the mountains, urging us to defy our limits. The Dent Blanche and the Grand Cornier seem to respond to each other, conversing in the air, seeming to dance on the edge of the stars. Celebrating the immensity of the Alps in unison.
How magnificent the mountains are when the storm redraws them like this. Pure white, evanescent and immortal. As the clouds part, giving way to the sun, the high summits of the Alps reveal all their splendor. It's at times like these that the mountains are at their most beautiful. Bewitching, they draw us in irresistibly. But it's also when they're at their most dangerous. An implacable creature, a merciless ogress. The Grand Cornier and Dent Blanche, a monstrous coquette in the eyes of Guy de Maupassant, keep us at a safe distance. To climb them in such circumstances is to risk the worst. Being swept away by an avalanche, falling into their invisible crevasses or getting lost in the fog - whatever fate the mountain has in store for us, it proves fatal. On this day, summits can be contemplated from afar. So let us dream together of our future ascents, our next adventures, until Dent Blanche and the Grand Cornier once again welcome our footsteps.

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.
