Portrait of the Aiguille du Tour on the border between France and Switzerland in the Mont Blanc massif. The photograph was taken from the Trient glacier. The summit dominates the world of ice and fascinates by its ease of access. Many mountaineers attempt its ascent before setting off for Mont Blanc. Its summit can be reached from the Albert Premier refuge in France or from the Trient hut in Switzerland.

After the storm, the wind carved waves on the glacier. I love the dynamic movement that contrasts with the icy permanence. Fragility and alpine strength come together. As for the Aiguille du Tour, it emerges like an iceberg in an ocean of ice. Like a rocky island lost in a world of frozen water. In this sublime and mysterious universe, I exalt the beauty of the mountain. The low-angled light caresses the contours of summit, reflecting the almost perfect symmetry of the needle. Where shadow meets light, each element seems perfectly aligned.

Through this painting, I pay homage to the grandeur of nature and to those fleeting moments that, though fading, continue to resonate in the souls of those who experienced them.

I remember my first ascent of the Aiguille du Tour. With a friend, we set off at night, then dawn welcomed us at summit. A moment suspended between heaven and earth, where every detail of the panorama was tinged with the first light of day. The landscape, barely awakened from the night, already revealed an infinity of nuances and striking contrasts. An unforgettable moment that I'd like to share with you through this work of art.
