About the work
Marvelling at the beauty of the skies, we sail serenely above the clouds, meeting Grand Combin, lord of Verbier. In this beautiful black-and-white panoramic photograph, the mountain embodies the immensity of the Alps. Far from the hustle and bustle of human life, it unfurls its freshly snow-covered summits . Sparkling in the sun, the Combin de la Tsessette catches our eye. Do you think it's impossible to ski its vertical face? In 2021, Vivian Bruchez and Paul Bonhomme succeeded in this technical feat, opening a new access route to summit, which they named Les Piliers de Bagnes. The ridge then leads us to the Aiguille du Croissant. A quarter-moon guides us between light and shadow to the Combin de Grafeneire, at 4314 metres. We then descend to the Combin de Valsorey. To the right, our journey ends at the Combin de Corbassière, whose summit gleams in the sunlight. When the dome of the Petit Combin remains in the shade for a few more minutes.
I took this photo of Grand Combin at sunrise, as summer was drawing to a close. After several months of drought, the mountain was bare, stripped of all snow. Previously, the eternal snows had been used to quench the thirst of mountaineers traversing the high summits . We would melt the ice to drink and cook a snack. But the year 2020 changed the mountain forever. Giving the heights only one summer storm. The one I'm immortalizing here.
I love the wind's assault on summits. Revealing the beauty of their textures. Redrawing the rock like charcoal on paper. With no residual snow on which to rest, the storm enriches the mountain with new contrasts. See how the snow and rocks shimmer against this silvery panorama. Contemplate the sumptuous details that nature reveals when the conditions are right. Allowing me to capture for you this unique picture that will make you dream.

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.
