About the work
A fascinating portrait of Piz Roseg, one of the most beautiful mountains in the Bernina massif in the Swiss Engadine. In the background, the lower Italian summits reinforce the presence of summit, which rises to 3935 metres above the Val de Roseg. In this aerial photograph, we are flying over its north-east face, whose impressive verticality inspires the world's best steep-slope skiers. At its foot lies the magnificent Vadret-da-Tschierva hanging glacier. Sadly, this photograph testifies to the fragility of a disappearing ecosystem. The glaciers of Piz Roseg are shrinking daily, giving way to rocky outcrops. The irreversible melting of the ice is altering the mountain's appearance and endangering its equilibrium.
I took this aerial photograph in spring. The last stigmata of a storm, the winds continue to shake summit, an invincible colossus that defies the horizon. By immortalizing this grandiose panorama of the Swiss Alps, I wanted to highlight the incredible verticality of the massif and its exceptional strength. In tone and composition, the work embodies the striking aesthetics of summit. Marking the Italian-Swiss border with its titanic imprint, it points valiantly skywards.
At print in large format, the many details visible invite us to discover its suspended glacier, its steep walls and its ridge of ice on which the snow never ceases to be swept away. Violent winds leave no respite at summit, and it's not until summer that the snow finally clings to it. Here, the art of photography illuminates the splendor of a wilderness that only welcomes man's presence on fine days.

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!
