About the work
Sumptuous, snow-covered Dents de Bertol, towering aboveArolla in the Val d'Hérens. This black-and-white photograph highlights a region of the Swiss Alps that is still very much in the wild. A paradise for ski tourers in springtime.
In my body of work, human presence is rare. The conditions don't lend themselves to it. But on this spring day in 2018, fate decided otherwise. I was taking advantage of a lull in the winds to go to summit de la Tête Blanche. As I neared the Bertol hut, after many hours of effort, I suddenly caught sight of them. Two high-mountain skiers about to take to the slopes of the Dents de Bertol. I grabbed my camera and immortalized the scene. The angle of this magnificent slope invites adventure. The purity of its snow and its elegant lines give us the irrepressible urge to join the lucky climbers at its summit. The rock soars like a hymn to the mountain's fervour.
In the background, the northern and central summits des Bouquetins seem to watch over the Dents de Bertol. Wise turrets dominate the surroundings. Few mountaineers climb their steep walls. But they can be admired from many parts of the Alps. Here, the mountains offer us two sides of themselves. Powerful and magical, fiery and venerable.

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!
