About the work
In the icy immensity of the Rimpfishhorn, tiny silhouettes make their way towards the summit. These climbers are braving the hostile beauty of this pyramid of ice, which rises to 4,199 metres in the Valais Alps. Time is of the essence: above them, the sky is full of threats, heralding the storm that will soon sweep through the heights.
The seracs unfurl their fantastic architecture, ephemeral sculptures shaped by the whims of the glacier. These cracked, tormented cathedrals of ice tell the story of the mountain's turbulent history. Every crevasse, every hanging boulder testifies to the power of the telluric forces that animate this vertical world. The striking beauty of these glacial formations transforms the landscape into a natural work of art, where fragility meets eternity.
The scale of this photograph reveals the immensity of the Alps. These men, tiny specks in the white immensity, embody man's eternal quest for the sublime. Paradoxically, their presence underlines the grandeur of the mountain, this silent giant that tolerates them on its flanks for the time of a passage.
I captured the moment when human adventure meets glacial majesty. Those few minutes before nature reclaims its rights, sweeping away all traces of human presence. In the subdued light that precedes the storm, the Rimpfishhorn reveals its dual nature: a sanctuary of beauty and a realm of danger.

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!
