About the work
A masterly portrait of the Weisshorn, exposing its imposing face to the first rays of sunlight. summit is the highest mountain in the Imperial Crown of Zinal, rising to an altitude of 4505 meters in the Valais Alps. This vertical black-and-white photograph highlights the mountain's eastern slope, overlooking the Zermatt valley. A vertiginous pyramid adorned with sumptuous glaciers that can be admired from the Gornergrat, Rothorn and surrounding heights. The Schaligrat on the left and its normal route on the right outline its contours. The verticality of its eastern face captivates the eye. Worthy of the highest summits in the Himalayas, it invites us to climb almost 2000 metres from its summit to the bottom of the photograph. A celestial journey to meet one of nature's most beautiful jewels.
Although it is linked to Bishorn and Schalihorn, I wanted to photograph it on its own. The Weisshorn, lord of the Alps, unique and grandiose. Edward Whymper, the first mountaineer to conquer the Matterhorn, said that the Weisshorn was even more beautiful. As a lover of the Matterhorn myself, I sometimes think so too. I admire the Weisshorn as the most beautiful mountain in the Alps. And to pay homage to it in my work.
At the dawn of early summer, the Weisshorn appears in majesty, clad in a thick white coat, enthroned beyond the clouds. In defiance of the sky, it urges us to surpass ourselves. To free ourselves from our chains and travel the world, to realize our dreams beyond the impossible. The rising sun illuminates its corridors, shapes its contours, reveals its features. The clarity of the snow magnifies its rock. I like to contemplate the mountain in this way, constantly discovering new details, unsuspected treasures. To lose my gaze and find myself again.

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!

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.
