About the work
A celestial portrait of the Weisshorn, emerging from the mist to move us. See how its south face glistens in the sunlight above Zermatt. Inviting us to traverse its Schaligrat ridge and its normal route on the edge of the Valais lands and the radiant sky. As I contemplate it, all I can think of is how to reach its summit and the cross it holds up to the glory of the Alps. The famous mountaineer Edward Whymper, conqueror of the Matterhorn, called the Weisshorn the most beautiful summit in the Alps. For me, the Matterhorn remains the queen of the mountains, but when I look at this photograph, I feel my heart sway. How can we not succumb to the exceptional charisma of the Weisshorn, a sublime, colossal silhouette that carries our souls far beyond the world?
Here, the Weisshorn is reborn from the fury of the winds. Exposing its Himalayan face to the sun. It rises victorious from a colossal storm, adorned in a crystalline drapery with a regal allure. Ode to the high mountains or celestial dance, its snowy corridors give rhythm to the painting. Sumptuous textures echo the ice flutes of the Andes. Snow abounds on this vertiginous face, with avalanches pouring down summit from the Weisshorn. Over the years, this accumulated snow is transformed into eternal ice.
I love the gentle contrasts that sublimate the Weisshorn, giving it an unrivalled presence in this work. I like to forget myself in this infinity, to lose myself for a few hours in the heart of these portraits. For a moment of grace, a breath of the absolute. And if I'm constantly creating new mountain photographs, it's to guide you into the heart of the Alps, to meet the Weisshorn and its brothers. To honor the high mountains with my art, and to help preserve the memory of the Alps.

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.
