Needle of Bionassay
At the foot of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille de Bionnassay (4,052 m) looms like a strikingly pure spire. Overlooking the Chamonix valley on the French side and the snowy slopes on the Italian side, it offers a rare aesthetic where its tapering ridge seems to cut through the sky. Its ascent, renowned for its finesse, is a favorite with experienced climbers, who find it a challenge that combines grace and technical skill.
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Aiguille de Bionnassay embodies the quintessence of alpine verticality. In his photos, the mountain is sometimes misty, sometimes bathed in light, revealing chiselled reliefs and mysterious shadows. Each photograph bears witness to the subtle dialogue between snow and rock, where the beauty of curves mingles with the harshness of minerals. The Aiguille de Bionnassay appears like a muse, inviting us to go beyond mere sporting performance and immerse ourselves in a genuine quest for elevation.

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!
