About the work
On this spring morning, the furious winds have given way to light. In front of us, the Bernina mountain range rises majestically in the heart of the Engadine, in the Swiss Alps. I dreamt of this panoramic black-and-white photograph for a long time before I was finally able to take it. I had to wait for that precise moment when the sun positioned itself in front of the mountain, even though the snow had barely covered it.
The sparkling pyramid of Piz Tschierva catches our eye in the foreground of the picture. Enchanted by the beauty of the landscape, our gaze then wanders to Piz Boval, whose rounded forms contrast with the sharp point of Piz Tschierva. Then it flies along Biancograt, a magnificent ridge that rises between light and shadow to summit du Piz Bernina, at 4048 metres above sea level. On the right, the ridge continues in shadow towards Piz Scerscen, while on the left, it continues towards Piz Argient and Piz Zupo, which culminates at 3995 metres. This splendid summit was just 5 metres short of the prestigious 4000-metre mounts. 5 metres to attract the attention of mountaineers in search of climbs. Just a few metres to go from shadow to light. But instead, Piz Zupo can only watch helplessly as climbers ascend Biancograt before passing at its feet to reach the Bellavista ridge.
In creating this portrait of Biancograt, I wanted to highlight the wild and grandiose beauty of the Bernina massif. To admire the sequence of ridges that gives the work an incredible dimension. The perfect alignment of summits guides us towards Piz Bernina and its celestial summit. At sunrise, nature offers us one of her most beautiful masterpieces. I love the graphic purity of its features. The textures that emerge from the wind's assault on the bleached rock. Thanks to the silvery reflections of the snow, the shady mountainsides reveal a wealth of detail. Redrawing the Alps in charcoal, nature plays with this fleeting moment to reveal its sweetest mysteries. As you contemplate the work each day, you'll discover them. Let your gaze wander from peak to peak, never tiring of it.

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!
