Pollux
Not far from the Castor, the Pollux (4,089 m) rises elegantly among the peaks of the Zermatt valley, forming with its "twin" a duo of legendary summits in the heart of the Valais Alps. Accessible without being trivial, Pollux is just as much for mountaineers in search of their first 4000 m as it is for high-mountain enthusiasts eager to discover a breathtaking panorama. Between Switzerland and Italy, its snow-covered flanks and rocky ridges offer breathtaking views of the sparkling glaciers of Mont Rose and the inimitable silhouette of the Matterhorn.
For Thomas Crauwelsthe Pollux is much more than a secondary summit : it's a muse, a horizon where the light draws subtle reflections on the snow, where the wind sculpts the ice and rock in a silent ballet. It exudes a special atmosphere, blending the gentleness of rolling slopes with the strength of ridges, reminding us that beauty lies in the delicate balance between challenge and serenity. Through his work, Thomas captures that suspended moment when, in the face of immensity, we feel a profound sense of humility.
Le Pollux embodies the promise of an accessible adventure, but also the discovery of a wider dimension, made up of contemplation and respect for these highlands. At every sunrise, it rises like a call to escape, inviting travelers to boldly head for the summit to savor the magic of the Valais Alps.

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.
