Aiguilles du Diable
On the south-eastern ridge of Mont Blanc du Tacul, the Aiguilles du Diable soar like granite spires, defying the sky with their remarkable verticality. With five peaks crossing the mythical 4,000-meter mark - L'Isolée (4,114 m), Pointe Carmen (4,109 m), Pointe Médiane (4,097 m), Pointe Chaubert (4,074 m) and Corne du Diable (4,064 m) - the Aiguilles du Diable are a mineral lacework of daring and poetry. Far from the crowds that frequent other summits the massif, these needles impose their wild and demanding character, delighting climbing and high-mountain enthusiasts.
For Thomas Crauwelsfor Thomas Crauwels, the Aiguilles du Diable are a land of wonder and challenge. Through his photographs, he captures the ruggedness of these tapering towers, sculpted by wind and time, as well as the delicacy of snow suspended on unsuspected ridges. The contrasts in light, between the brilliance of granite and the velvety softness of a changing sky, create a living tableau, where each point seems to tell its own story. In this universe, verticality becomes a link between man and infinity, an intimate experience where contemplation merges with the quest for the perfect moment.
Thus sublimated, the Aiguilles du Diable reveal the mysterious soul of the Mont Blanc massif, an invitation to both caution and passion, where we brush up against the sacred dimension of high altitude. Through his lens, Thomas Crauwels reminds us how these summits, as complex as they are magnetic, continue to inspire dreams and exploits, standing proudly like timeless silhouettes in the grandiose setting of the Alps.

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!
