About the work
Visit summit Weisshorn, 4506 m high, which dominates the Imperial Crown of Zinal, in the Swiss Alps. The mountain lies on the border between val d’Anniviers and the Zermatt valley. This sumptuous photograph highlights the northern ridge of the Weisshorn, one of the most beautiful traverses in the Alps. It takes us up to the Grand Gendarme and then to summit of this incredible rock pyramid. On the left, we begin the descent via the normal route to Randa, passing the Weisshornhütte. To the right, the mountain's west face plunges down to val d’Anniviers , taking root at the foot of the Arpitettaz hut. The Weisshorn rises majestically, surrounded by the legendary summits . An exceptional panorama. The Monte Rosa massif unfolds on the left, with Dufourspitze and Nordend, while on the right, the Breithorn massif reveals its five summits over 4000 metres high.
This photograph is an ode to the Weisshorn and its remarkable stature. I took it on a winter's afternoon, when immaculate snow still covered its summit. The sun illuminates the mountain like a precious stone. Its exquisite brilliance makes its hanging glaciers glisten in the shadows and its best-exposed faces sparkle. The work draws its beauty from the lightness of its silvery contrasts. Conveying the grandeur of the mountain through the softness of its tones is an art that has taken me years to master. Just as climbing the Weisshorn took me three years of preparation. I had to wait until the conditions were right before embarking on this fabulous adventure. I had to be ready, both physically and mentally. And I'm so happy to have succeeded! This traverse remains one of my best mountaineering memories, because it was so magnificent. Just like this photograph, which I'm delighted to share with you today.

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!
