About the work
Journey to summit Mount Rose, on the border between Switzerland and Italy. This magnificent black-and-white panoramic photograph features two mountains on the famous Spaghetti Tour. The Parrotspitze and the Signalkuppe or Pointe Gnifetti rise in the Alps to an altitude of over 4,000 meters.
While my work usually highlights nature untouched by humanity, in this photograph I wanted to praise the immensity of the Alps through the presence of the men who walk these summits. In the foreground, climbers reach the highest point of the Parrotspitze. Can you make out the leader jumping the summit crevasse of this rock giant? In the background, a group of climbers reach the Margherita hut, enthroned between earth and sky on the summit of the Signalkuppe. While other climbers tackle the last few metres to summit.
To bring this picture to life, I waited for heavy thunderstorms to blanket the mountains with snow in late summer. Just enough to provide ideal conditions for traversing the freshly-whitened ridges. To give climbers the irrepressible urge to tackle the Spaghetti Tour and its most beautiful summits.
I love the pure, powerful aesthetics of this photograph. The graphism of the ridges, the cutting of the planes. A few lines drawn by nature to express the very essence of life. The rigorous yet free composition guides us towards the sky, just as the mountain is both demanding and generous. An artistic jewel that invites us to encounter Mount Rose.

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.
