About the work
In the shadow of Mont Blanc lurks another peak. Mont Maudit, the evil mountain pointing its satanic horn at the Alps. Contemplating this black-and-white photograph, we are transported to the heart of a legend. That of a damned mountain confronting the sky. In the front line, a dark army, the Aiguilles du Diable protect the mountain with their sharp peaks. L'Isolée, Pointe Carmen, Pointe Médiane, Pointe Chaubert and Corne du Diable rise inaccessibly at over 4,000 metres.
I have a strong feeling that we need to get away. Leave Mont Maudit before the abyss invades our souls. Leave the mountain alone to face this mysterious power. For the bad weather seems to be sweeping down into the valley. A strange lenticular cloud covers summit , sweeping its tempestuous winds across the rocky flanks. Light shines through the mist, outlining the robust contours of our cursed creature. Barely revealing its Kuffner ridge, which rises up in front of us, bold and sumptuous.
A masterpiece of nature, a grandiose epic. The fury of the clashing elements, defying Mont Maudit to tame their wrath. In this photograph, where art mingles with the imaginary, the needles reveal their personalities and the mountain its history. The shots follow one another like so many chapters in a fantastic tale in which the queenly mountain brandishes its summit beyond the clouds. Thundering through the darkness, Mont Maudit will, I feel, emerge victorious from this fierce battle, buoyed by the bravery of the Aiguilles du Diable. This is one of my finest works. Inspiring, terrifying and unique.

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.
