About the work
A magnificent giant whose beauty inspires my creations. In the Val d'Anniviers, the Grand Cornier reveals its most impressive personality. This emblematic summit , 3,961 metres above sea level, emerges from the clouds after a snowstorm, revealing its strikingly vertical face. How fascinating this mountain is!
The face rises with an audacity that defies the laws of balance. The absolute verticality of this face fascinates with its perfect geometry, accentuated by the format of this photograph, which reveals all the drama of this Valais giant.
The storm has just passed, leaving behind a spectacle of rare purity. The fresh snow reveals every detail of this rocky wall, creating a striking contrast between the immaculate whiteness and the dark rock peeking through here and there.
I waited years to be able to photograph the Grand Cornier. To discover this mountain under such a blanket of snow only happens once or twice a year. And this Himalayan vision vanishes a few minutes after it appears. I have to be there, in front of this giant, when this rare moment occurs. Every minute counts before this spectacle disappears. Nature is amazing: it creates wonders that are as imposing as they are ephemeral.
I chose this angle of view because it allows the relief to show all its harmony. The verticality of the mountain is perfect. I love the relief that emerges from the snow, the seracs that give life to the face. I love the silvery nuances of this photograph. Even in the darker areas, the mountain reveals itself, revealing its dazzling beauty and its innermost secrets.

Collector's reviews
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.
