About the work
This beautiful square black & white photograph celebrates the Schreckhorn, one of the most difficult 4000m-high summits peaks on the bernese alps website. It rises to 4078 meters above Grindelwald, in Switzerland. Its magnificent ridge leads to the Lauteraarhorn mountain, here hidden by clouds. The traverse from the Schreckhorn to the Lauteraarhorn is one of the most beautiful climbs in the Alps, and I dream of doing it one day.
Many years passed before I managed to immortalize this mythical summit . In the Grindelwald region, the weather is capricious. One day it buries the mountain under thick banks of clouds, the next it offers a completely clear sky. But it rarely leaves room for the in-between that I appreciate so much. Here, the clouds carry the mountain, gracing the work with dazzling depth. This spectacle can only take place at the beginning of the day, in spring, when the sun's rays illuminate the eastern face of the mountain, giving the photograph all its strength and beauty. This scene can only be admired if the just-swept storm was not too turbulent. This was the only way the snow could cover summits without being blown away by the gusts of wind.
The perfect picture. Covered in a pure, immaculate blanket of snow, the Schreckhorn reflects the light like a rough, eternal diamond. Light and shadow mingle gently, highlighting the striking beauty of summit. The square format, rarely found in my art, is used here to enhance the graphic quality of the image. The mountain appears inaccessible to man, all-powerful and timeless.

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!
