Swiss Peaks | Matterhorn

In a limited edition, Nico Schaerer presents five Swiss Alpine peaks. His portraits show the sublimity of these peaks of calm and the emotional impact of the Swiss mountains. Grey tones create moods of undreamt-of breadth. Razor-sharp edges, pitch-black fissures and snow-white surfaces give each mountain its very own face. Whoever dives into these pictures travels to where peace and power have their origin. Where the energy of millions of years is at home. These summits were there long before us and will impress many generations after us. Because they are stronger than anything man has created. The Alps cover more than half of Switzerland. They have shaped the people and the country. For millions of years they have defied every storm, no matter how violent, and rise out of the sea of fog like islands of peace. What emerges here is natural, pure and powerful.
