Green Needle
At 4,122 metres, the Aiguille Verte stands proudly among the 4,000-metre peaks of the Mont Blanc massif, dominating the Chamonix valley with its sharp, vertiginous silhouette. Its pyramidal shape is inevitably reminiscent of the Matterhorn. But there's more to La Verte than its main summit : it extends into a high-altitude ridge formed by two other 4000-meter peaks, the Aiguille du Jardin and the Grande Rocheuse, giving the whole an almost sacred majesty.
Thomas Crauwels sees the Aiguille Verte as both a fascinating and formidable muse. Its steep slopes and tapering edges offer a playground as demanding as it is bewitching, where the quest for perfect light becomes an epic in its own right. The striking contrasts between the dark rock and the white of the eternal snow, punctuated by the ballet of the clouds, create a unique, almost mystical atmosphere.
Through his lens, Thomas captures the intensity of these high places, where verticality becomes a challenge and contemplation a privilege. The Aiguille Verte, proud guardian of the Mont Blanc massif, is revealed in all its splendor, inviting us to an intimate encounter with the raw forces of the mountain and the deep emotion that arises from altitude.
The ascent of these 3 summits during the summer of 2024 will remain a moment engraved forever in Thomas's heart and memory.

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!
