About the work
Magnificent panoramic photo taken from the heights of Verbier. From summit on Mont Fort, at an altitude of 3328 metres, the Bec des Rosses dominates the landscape. Its steep slopes, popular with steep skiers, are famous for hosting the Freeride World Tour. In the background, Mont Blanc, ruler of the Alps, rises from the sea of clouds, while on its right, the Aiguille de Chardonnet and its Forbes ridge seem to cut the sky with jagged teeth.
The storm was foretold. Impatient with the idea of witnessing a miracle, I hurry to the Mont Fort cable car. The snow hit the heights with full force. Almost alone in climbing to this altitude, I observe that skiers and mountaineers have given up challenging the mountain in these conditions. At summit, I wait, hoping to find myself above the sea of clouds. Finally, nature reveals itself in all its splendour. The clouds break. I can see the Bec des Rosses and the Mont Blanc massif in all their majesty. Filled with emotion, I feel deeply connected to the soul of the mountain. In the cold and the storm, I immortalize this world I cherish so much.
I love the cottony atmosphere that emanates from this work. The mountains face the fury of the elements. And yet, as we contemplate this luminous painting, a sense of calm washes over us. In the garden of the unspeakable, I have discovered my wonder. In the midst of chaos, I am drawn by an invisible force. I call this garden the high mountain in the middle of a storm.

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.
