about the work
A magical journey to the summit of Europe. This enchanting portrait of Mont Blanc transports us beyond time. In 2014, I met this mythical mountain for the first time. A giant of Chamonix , whose flamboyant fame has aroused the fervor of the entire world.On this very special day, I set off to discover the Alps and its most grandiose landscapes. In the twilight of a gray day, shrouded in mist and doubt, I decided to bivouac. I had just set up camp when, all of a sudden, the clouds in front of me began to break. The sea of mist that had invaded the sky slowly lowered, revealing the Queen Mountain. Mont Blanc in majesty and, to its left, its servant, the magnificent Mont Maudit. As night fell, I put off preparing my meal to grab my camera. I set it up to best capture the fleeting glimmer of a sleeping sun. Last echoes of the day on the high glaciers of the lord of the Alps. A 30-second exposure allows the photograph to smooth out the movements of a still turbulent mist.
How fortunate I was to be able to contemplate the dazzling work of a daring natural world. What a thrill to see this otherworldly lenticular cloud appear above Mont Blanc! A sublime aureole caressing the summit of a legendary mountain. It's as if the sky were paying homage to the grandeur of the Alps and their mad beauty.
Among the photographs I took that evening, I offer you this work. For the balance of its forms and the harmony of its clouds. For its astonishing depth and the purity of its soul. For the splendor of its seracs and eternal snows. As I rested on its flanks, sheltered from the violent winds, the mountain revealed its infinite beauty. I was pursuing the wonderful dream of one day reaching the summit of Mont Blanc. And with a burning desire, I created this work. Two years later, in 2016, I finally climbed the famous Mont Blanc. Vibrating at summit with so many emotions. I was standing at the highest point of the Alps, as if on the edge of heaven, yet so close to the surrounding mountains. An unforgettable and moving encounter with the King of the Alps.

Description
A magical journey to the summit of Europe. This bewitching portrait of Mont Blanc transports us beyond time. In 2014, I met this mythical mountain for the first time. A giant of Chamonix , its flamboyant fame has aroused the fervor of people the world over.
On this very special day, I set off to discover the Alps and its most grandiose landscapes. In the twilight of a gray day, shrouded in mist and full of doubts, I decided to bivouac. I had just set up camp when, all of a sudden, the clouds in front of me began to break. The sea of mist that had invaded the sky slowly lowered, revealing the Queen Mountain. Mont Blanc in majesty and, to its left, its servant, the magnificent Mont Maudit. As night fell, I put off preparing my meal to grab my camera. I set it up to best capture the ephemeral glow of a sleeping sun. Last echoes of the day on the high glaciers of the lord of the Alps. An exposure time of 30 seconds allows the photograph to smooth out the movements of a still turbulent mist.
How lucky I was to be able to contemplate at this very moment the dazzling work of audacious nature. What a thrill to see this lenticular cloud from another world appear above Mont Blanc! A sublime aureole caressing the summit of a legendary mountain. It's as if the sky were paying homage to the grandeur of the Alps and their mad beauty.
Among the photographs I took that evening, I offer you this work. For the balance of its forms and the harmony of its clouds. For its astonishing depth and the purity of its soul.
