Grandes Jorasses
In the heart of the Mont Blanc massif, the Grandes Jorasses rise like a cathedral of ice and granite, with five peaks surpassing the mythical 4,000-meter mark: Pointe Walker (4,208 m), Pointe Croz (4,110 m), Pointe Marguerita (4,065 m), Pointe Hélène (4,045 m) and Pointe Whymper (4,184 m). A veritable Alpine rampart, these peaks follow one another along a vertiginous ridge, from which the full power of a landscape where deep valleys, sheer walls and bewitching glaciers meet is revealed.
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Grandes Jorasses are much more than a legendary backdrop: they embody the very soul of the high mountains, a symbol of self-transcendence and harmony between man and nature. Through his photographs, he captures the majesty of these colossi that separate France from Italy, the infinite nuances of the rock carved by time, and the variations in light that metamorphose these walls with the passing hours and seasons. His lens also reveals the timeless mystery of the famous north faces, whose mythical reputation has forged the legend of mountaineering.
Each of Thomas 's shots echoes the harshness of granite and the softness of snow, the intensity of the challenge and the verticality of the summits. In this way, the Grandes Jorasses is revealed as an Alpine sanctuary, where each peak tells a story of courage and passion. This crossing of the peaks seems to bring the photographer and the mountaineer closer to a universal truth: that of the free and wild beauty of the mountains, always ready to defy time and inspire those who contemplate it.

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.
