Red Needles ofArolla
A look at Grand Combin
About the work
What a privilege to be able to bear witness to this moment of grace! What a priceless opportunity to contemplate this perfect beauty born of the symbiosis of mist and wind, snow and rock! I must continue this ceaseless quest. To be there at the very moment when the magic happens, to be constantly on the lookout for the highest summits in the Alps, and to remain attentive to nature's unpredictability. Because if I don't immortalize the memory of the Alps, if I don't photograph these flamboyant mountains, who will? My heart trembles to reveal to the world the beauty of the high glaciers of Grand Combin and their awe-inspiring seracs.
In this fabulous work, the Combin floats atop the Alps like a ship in the sky. Alongside it, the Aiguilles rouges d'Arolla rise like islands of rock from the clouds. An ocean of origins or a marvel of our own land, the painting transports us to another world, just as it brings us back to ourselves. The emotion that emanates from her scenography constantly moves us from the universal to the intimate. On the borderline between the real and the abstract, our heart wavers, forever conquered by the exceptional grandeur of the Swiss Alps.
