About the work
The infinite beauty ofObergabelhorn , which, at an altitude of 4064 metres, dominates val d’Anniviers, in Switzerland. It is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic heights summits of the Valais Alps, and deeply inspires me. This magnificent photograph is an ode to the purity of the mountain I love so much.
Producing this work was epic! AdmiringObergabelhorn from its most beautiful angle is no easy task. It took me several hours to reach this beautiful vantage point on the mountain. I went up alone on touring skis, carrying my tripod and telephoto lens. I was exhausted, but there was no way I was giving up. I felt guided by an incredible inner force. I was getting my energy from the high mountains. The powerful desire to witness a unique spectacle in front of summit pushed me to overcome all obstacles. And I succeeded. As if to reward me for my efforts to honour nature, she presented me with a breathtaking tableau. The very embodiment of a kingdom where purity reigns supreme on the horizon.
It's June 2019. At the start of summer, a violent storm has just covered summits with a thick blanket of snow. Conditions that are becoming increasingly rare, as the mountains change with the climate. In the foreground of the photograph, the famous Blanc de Moming ridge runs from Besso to the Zinalrothorn. Numerous crevasses form along the way, delicately sculpting the picture. Snow flows down the sides, bringing the snowy relief to life. From its slender silhouette,Obergabelhorn seems to emerge, even though it is several kilometers away. The absolute whiteness of its north face reveals the mountain like a diamond in the rough. Its pyramidal shape echoes the most famous mountains in the Valais Alps. The Matterhorn, Dent Blanche or the The Dent d'Hérensall illustrious names that stir our imaginations and make our hearts beat faster. I love the deep tones of the photography. Sumptuous whiteness adorning the rocks. Fulgurance of line and sensuality of texture. What an extraordinary gift nature gave me that day! To be able to contemplate the naked soul of the mountain in majesty. With this portrait ofObergabelhorn, I in turn offer you its ephemeral splendor, which the sun's rays will soon erase.

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.
