About the work
This panoramic photograph features the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, three mythical summits in the Grindelwald region of bernese alps, Switzerland. As the first line of defence against the stormy waves from the north, they are often put to the test by the elements.
I created this work in the middle of winter, when the storm was still raging. The clouds and wind were still very present around summits. I named it Château dans le ciel (Castle in the sky) because the mountain emerges from a sea of clouds like a monumental fortress dominating the world and reaching for the stars. I love the atmosphere that emanates from this celestial tableau. It's a rare moment, and all the more moving for it. This is one of my favorite works.
In photographing this exceptional panorama, I wanted to convey the power and grandeur of these fabulous summits Alps, while ensuring gentle contrasts. The more the years go by, the more I try to combine strength and delicacy. It's a daunting challenge, but to my mind that's what makes the work so beautiful. Highlighting the unchanging splendor of the high mountains while respecting their profound nature.

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.
