About the work
The wild beauty of Dents du Midi, overlooking the Val d'Illiez, Switzerland. This photograph features the most beautiful summits in the Alps. Painted in black and white, the Éperon, Dent Jaune, Doigts de Salanfe and Champéry rise up in front of us. The Haute Cime, summit Dents du Midi 's most imposing peak, rises to an altitude of 3,257 metres. The Tour Sallière stands out in the background. In the background, the Mont-Blanc massif stretches across the horizon. The wind still roars over summits as the mountain emerges from the fog.
I took this aerial photograph by helicopter. I studied the maps at length to find the exact location that would allow me to bring together two of the Alps' most famous giants in a single shot: Dents du Midi and the Mont-Blanc massif. The year is 2020, after one of the rare storms that plastered summits that year. I had to wait many years for the chance to witness such a beautiful spectacle. The very essence of nature, free and all-powerful, distilling its splendor when it wishes, bringing my art to life. All that's left for me to do is imagine the mountains, draw up plans and think of photographs. I keep this treasure deep inside me until the day the mountain offers itself to my gaze in all its glory. Then I'm there, listening to it, excited and happy to finally immortalize it as I'd dreamed it would be.
I love the sculptural power of this work. The chiselled summits reveal themselves between light and shadow. Ridges follow one another and planes are superimposed. Waves of rock break against the sky. Soft, silvery contrasts bring incredible depth to the picture. Diamond of the Alps sailing beyond our world and yet so present in our hearts.

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.
