About the work
Dominating the Val de Bagnes and the heights of Verbier, La Ruinette rises to an altitude of 3,875 metres. Less well known than its neighboring giants, it is nonetheless an emblematic summit , fierce and elegant.
On this particular day, conditions were perfect. Its face, draped in fresh snow, was decked out in a luminous mantle. Every vertical line was sharply defined. The wind, still brisk, swept across the summit and carried away a few scattered clouds, as if the mountain itself were blowing them away to preserve the purity of its profile.
La Ruinette offers a unique panorama to those who reach its summit via the routes leading from the Cabane des Dix or the Cabane de Chanrion. But for those who take the time to contemplate it from the valleys, it already presents itself as a natural work of art sculpted over centuries.
In this black and white photograph, I wanted to highlight the intensity of this suspended moment. The light struck the face like a silver brush, revealing every relief, every nuance between shadow and radiance. The mountain seemed alive, breathing through the clouds it pushed back with its invisible breath.
La Ruinette, proud and silent, embodies the beauty of the Valais in its purest form. In this majestic portrait, she is discreet but sovereign, whose quiet strength never ceases to inspire me.

Collector's reviews
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!
