About the work
We're in the Chablais massif in France. Mont de Grange faces us in all its splendour. Overlooking the famous resort of Châtel, it rises to an altitude of 2,432 metres. The emblematic mountain of the Portes du Soleil, it is the second highest summit in the Chablais region after the Hauts-Forts.
I took this photo on an early winter's morning, when the first rays of sunlight were just grazing the rocks. It's always a great pleasure for me to climb these mid-mountain peaks to reach summit. They offer me an exceptional vantage point over the colossal massifs that reign around them and fascinate me so much. But it's always a challenge for me to succeed in highlighting the richness of these mountains, as I'm irremediably attracted by the excessiveness of the high mountains. The shot is therefore rare and all the more precious.
With this work, I wanted to pay tribute to Mont de Grange. I spent a long time looking for the angle of view that would allow me to sublimate its beauty. Viewed from Châtel, it appears very crushed, but here it reveals all its grandeur. The play of light and shadow on its freshly snow-covered slopes accentuates the rigor of its features. Powerful and eternal, worthy of the highest summits, it seems to rise like a giant close to the heavens.
The framing I've chosen also honors it. Mont Grange stands at the center of the picture, surrounded by the most remarkable summits in Haute-Savoie. To its left, the Aravis massif and its famous Pointe Percée rip through the sky, and to its right, the illustrious Grand Bargy. Together, they carry him to glory.

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.
