Dome and Barre des Écrins
In the southern French Alps, the Barre des Écrins (4,101 m) and the Dôme des Écrins (4,009 m) stand as the only 4000-meter peaks in the Ecrins massif. True guardians of unspoilt nature, they dominate an area where rock and ice intertwine in wild harmony. La Barre, slender and more technical, stands out like a mineral fortress, while the Dôme, rounded and more accessible, invites you to experience high altitudes for the first time.
For Thomas Crauwelsevery expedition to these summits is a total immersion in the soul of the mountain. Inspired by the solemn silence of the glaciers and the southern light that magnifies the relief, he searches for the moment when shadow and light meet, revealing the power and grace of these peaks. From the sunrise caressing the ridges to the golden hues of twilight, the Barre and Dôme are constantly changing, offering a living canvas of striking contrasts.
Through his works, Thomas transports us into a universe where verticality becomes art and contemplation, an inner quest. These two summits, at once intimately linked and contrasting, embody the singular richness of the Ecrins massif : a refuge of serenity and grandeur, where we feel the majesty of a nature that is still sovereign.

A magical vista for mountain lovers
Passionate about the mountains, in love with black-and-white photography, the images created by Thomas Crauwels can only seduce us. The purity of the lines, the simply unique viewpoints, the photographic work carried out by Thomas and the exceptional quality of prints make them works of art. From initial contact at the mountain show to home delivery, Thomas offers a highly professional service. We enjoy this magical view every day!

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!
