Corno Nero
Incisive and elegant, Corno Nero (4,321 m) stands like a rocky bastion amid the glacial world of Monte Rosa on its Italian side. Its name, literally meaning "Black Horn", evokes the dark presence of its steep walls, which contrast with the surrounding whiteness. Small in size among the massif's 4000 peaks, it is nonetheless a summit with a strong personality, prized by climbers for its short but intense ascent.
For Thomas CrauwelsCorno Nero is a point of convergence between light and shadow. In his photographs, he stages this meeting of dark mineral and bright snow, creating a play of striking contrasts. Each ridge, each rocky gendarme, takes on an almost sculptural dimension, revealing the raw beauty of the high mountains.
Despite its apparent modesty, Corno Nero conceals a unique atmosphere, tinged with austerity and mystery. In the moments he captures, Thomas invites us to go beyond mere performance to experience the pure emotion of an ascent, where verticality becomes a bridge to contemplation and wonder.

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!

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.
