About the work
There it stands, the Dent D'hérens, noble and massive. Before my eyes, it rises proudly, carved out of snow and light. At its feet, the high glaciers of the Val d'Hérens stretch out.
All is still and pure. The cold has smoothed the edges and frozen every detail. And the light, so soft, so clear, caresses the slope. It reveals the verticality, highlights the textures, draws the shadows without ever forcing the line.
The Dent d'Hérens, sister of the Matterhorn, reigns by its very presence, by the perfect balance of its lines, by the restrained power that inspires respect. Between the Val d'Hérens and the Italian border, it keeps watch. Watching. Waiting.
In this photograph, I've sought the suspended moment. The moment when the mountain no longer struggles against the elements, but unites with them. The wind had fallen silent. And in the silence, the Dent d'Hérens revealed itself - without drama, without glamour. Simply beautiful.
I love this black and white photograph for its restraint. It doesn't try to impress. It breathes, it inhabits space with serenity. And all I had to do was listen and frame.

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.

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!
