About the work
Out of the storm rises a mountain as beautiful as it is terrifying. Today, I present a portrait of a mythical mountain that rises, sovereign, between the Val d'Anniviers and the Zermatt valley. TheObergabelhorn reveals its most dramatic personality. This 4,064-metre summit , part of the prestigious Imperial Crown of Zinal, begins its ballet with the elements.
The clouds gradually evaporate, gradually clearing the view of the mountain. TheObergabelhorn seems to smoke, exhaling its own steam in this mystical atmosphere. You'd think you were looking at a dormant volcano!
Our eyes discover this particular face where only bare rock appears, with no trace of glacier. A striking contrast with the other, completely snow-covered side, which resembles the famous Himalayan summit , Ama Dablam. This duality reveals the complexity of this Valais giant, capable of presenting radically different faces depending on the angle of view. I never cease to devote my art to theObergabelhorn, witnessing its most beautiful splendors. This black-and-white creation, created in 2017, emanates the ardor of our first moments, the emotion felt at that very first glance, when in 2013 I discovered theObergabelhorn.
I love the details that emerge from this painting taken from the heights of Zermatt, this infinite beauty with the scent of eternity. I love the contemplative and profound atmosphere this photograph exudes. The strength and power of this mountain bewitch us. And in this fine art photograph, the Imperial Crown of Zinal reveals one of its most spectacular jewels.

Collector's reviews
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.

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!
