About the work
A dark portrait of Point Percée, summit the highest peak in the Aravis massif, Haute-Savoie. This emblematic peak overlooking the famous resort of La Clusaz is also highly visible from the Arve valley and the Mont Blanc massif. In this photograph, the mountain's silhouette recalls that of the prestigious Matterhorn, king of the Swiss Alps.
I took this picture on a winter's morning, when a storm had just hit summit. The clouds gradually cleared, revealing the Pointe Percée, sparkling with beauty. The sun's rays begin to illuminate its freshly snow-covered cliffs. The end of a battle in which the mountain emerges victorious. The sequence of different shots adds great depth to the image. The play of diagonals, between light and shadow, plunges the picture into abstraction. The clouds reinforce the dramatic intensity of the scene. I love the power of this sensational, mystical photograph. The Pointe Percée, heroine of a world beyond our comprehension, is here elevated to the rank of the most audacious summits in the Alps.

Collector's reviews
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.
