About the work
A divine portrait of the Schreckhorn, 4078 meters above sea level. It rises above the Obers Ischmeer, more majestic than ever. Although it is often accompanied by its brother, the Lauteraarhorn, I have deliberately chosen to pay homage to it by its sole presence. Its verticality bewitches us. On the edge of heaven and earth, the Schreckhorn shows us its grandeur.
In the heart of bernese alps, a spectacle unfolds. It's springtime here, when violent winds have just ravaged the snow-covered summits . That day, fate smiled on me. The scene I'd been imagining for years finally unfolded. The clouds were still tearing and dancing with the mountain. Observe the play of light and shadow. The silvery hues bring softness to this gigantic summit . Contemplate the beauty of the ridge. It slices the photograph in two, from the Klein Schreckhorn via the Nassihorn to summit du Schreckhorn.
In this masterly portrait, the mountain seems impossible to reach. Capturing the unattainable is what drives my art. Looking at the mood of this mountain, dreaming of its future ascent remains our only opportunity. When I look at this photograph, I see abstract forms. How do you imagine the continuity of this mythical summit ? Are we really in the Alps? The sheer size and scope of the mountain suggests a journey to the heart of the Himalayas. In this interplay of shapes, I lose myself to discover new horizons.

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.

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!
