About the work
Fabulous panoramic photography highlighting the ridge that winds along the border between the bernese alps and Valais Alps. Between light and shadow, it guides us over more than 100 km to summit of Switzerland's most beautiful mountains. Our journey begins at the summit of the Wildhorn. We then reach the Wildstrubel, proudly overlooking the Glacier de la Plaine Morte. Our gaze wanders off to the right into the Sierre region. Our journey continues to the left of the picture towards Grindelwald. The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau appear on the horizon, followed by the Finsteraarhorn, Aletschhorn and Bietschhorn. Around Lake Oeschinensee, we see the Doldenhorn, Blüemlisalp and Gspaltenhorn. Not as high as their neighbors, they blend into the landscape. The views are breathtaking. It's hard not to get lost in the heart of this grandiose panorama of the Swiss Alps, where mountains intermingle and merge.
I took this black-and-white aerial photograph from the heights of Glacier 3000, one of the most famous skiable glaciers in the Swiss Alps. In the depths of winter, a storm had just covered the mountains with a thick layer of snow. Shortly after our helicopter took off, we found ourselves stranded above a thick fog bank. It was impossible to land the helicopter. We had to wait for a break in the clouds before we could descend. It was during this in-between moment that I saw the breathtaking view before us. I immediately asked the pilot to take us up as high as possible.
At an altitude of 4,000 metres, this was the breathtaking spectacle we were lucky enough to witness. Untouched, untamed nature revealing its splendor and immensity. I love the contrasts that animate the high mountains during the winter months. They reveal the beauty of its soul and its strength of character. Its sun-drenched slopes bathed in softness, its faces plunged into shadow, facing the icy cold. Yin and Yang of a kingdom dominating the sky, black and white clash and complement each other. To bring depth to the work and glorify the presence of the high summits.

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.
