About the work
Petit Mont Collon, culminating at 3538 metres above sea level, reveals all its splendour here. Although less well known than other giants of the Alps, this summit, located in the heights of the Val d'Hérens, deserves to be admired.
I immortalized Petit Mont Collon in 2017, after the passage of a storm. This photograph reveals all the poetry of this mountain: a subtle play of light and shadow animates its slopes, revealing its gentle curves and elegant reliefs. The storm has passed, leaving behind a special, almost dreamy atmosphere. The clouds are still floating. The Soft contrasts that shape this work are particularly appealing to me. Subtle nuances of gray and white that delicately shape the relief. Here, the mountain breathes.
When I contemplate this photograph, I think back to those pioneers, André Bernard and Rodolphe Tissières, who probably made the first ascent in 1940. What emotions they must have felt when they set foot on this virgin summit !
Through this work, I pay homage to those more confidential mountains that are patiently waiting to be discovered, appreciated and brought to light. This painting reminds us that Alpine greatness lies not only in the most famous summits , but also in these discreet treasures, equally imbued with a silent majesty.

Collector's reviews
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.
