About the work
A grandiose portrait of the Matterhorn, culminating at 4478 meters in the Valais Alps. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, the mountain reveals its breathtaking north face. As we contemplate this work, how could we possibly imagine that there are routes to climb this slope? And yet, mountaineer Edward Whymper succeeded, risking the lives of some of his party. The Matterhorn, a gigantic and seemingly inaccessible pyramid, is the last great summit in the Alps to have been conquered.
When I arrived in Switzerland from my native Belgium, the realm of high mountains was unknown to me. But when I met the Matterhorn, I immediately fell in love. I now gaze at summits with a sparkle in my eye and photograph it with a passion. To immortalize their grandeur, to bear witness to their beauty.
To take this photograph of the Matterhorn, I had to wait many years for the conditions to finally come together. On that day, just as a storm had swept through summits, I decided to try my luck by helicopter. Because I'm always on the lookout for the right moment and the right location. Here I was, face-to-face with the mountain. For a unique shot that only the air could offer. A powerful tribute to the verticality and charisma of the Matterhorn. Its north face, illuminated by the first rays of a summer sun, is adorned with fresh snow. Like a diamond from another world reflecting the light of dawn. It gives me great pleasure to share this portrait of the Matterhorn with you. For me, one of the most beautiful mountains in the world.

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.
