Piz Bernina
In the heart of the Engadine, where sky and earth merge in majestic embrace, Thomas Crauwels faces the Piz Bernina, an endlessly inspiring subject. This peak, the easternmost of the 4000-meter giants in the Alps, stands with unmatched grace. Remote yet never isolated, demanding yet always accessible to Thomas's eye and spirit. At 4049 meters, Piz Bernina represents both a challenge and a promise, a white dream crowned by the Biancograt, a legendary snow ridge of absolute purity, drawing a celestial path to the summit.
Captivated by this mountain for years, Thomas Crauwels embarked on the adventure of capturing it in all its forms. Thanks to his perseverance, he unveils Piz Bernina in a panorama where summit pierces the sky, framed by cracked glaciers and impressive rock faces. His works, combining shadows and lights, dancing clouds and sharp ridges, pay homage to the immensity of nature and the imposing character of Piz Bernina. For the artist, to photograph summit is to capture the essence of altitude, where the beauty of the Alps reaches its peak.
