About the work
Gigantic Dents du Midi dominating the Val d'Illiez in the Swiss Alps. In this black-and-white photograph taken from the border between France and Switzerland, the mountains appear sharp. On the right, Haute Cime, culminating at 3,257 metres, is the highest summit in the massif. Then there are the Doigts de Salanfe, the Dent Jaune, the Éperon, the Cathédrale, the Forteresse and the Cime de l'Est. Veritable ramparts standing guard over the valley. How small the chalets and villages built below seem, compared to the immensity of the mountain range!
I created this work in the middle of winter, when heavy snowfalls fell on summits, covering Dents du Midi in an incredible white blanket. The phenomenon is rare, and only occurs when an alchemy is created between the elements. I still don't know what the secret is. All I can do is go to the high mountains after every storm, and try my luck again and again. So that one day a moment like this will finally happen. This work owes its beauty to the purity of the snow clinging to summits , but also to the movement of the clouds, perfectly arranged. These clouds endow the work with incredible depth and dimension. I owe this photograph to fate, which gave me this moment of pure beauty. And I'm delighted that you too can enjoy this breathtaking spectacle.

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!
