About the artwork

While travelling through Switzerland, I came across this impressive ibex, an unforgettable moment. Although he seemed dangerously close, I was at a safe distance thanks to my telephoto lens. Its majestic appearance and imposing horns immediately reminded me of the king of the savannah, which inspired me to call this work 'King of the Alps'.

This picture captures the essence of strength and tranquillity in one image. It shows a majestic ibex, symbol of the rugged and untamed Alps. With its imposing horns full of deep furrows and an intense, piercing gaze, this animal exudes sheer dominance and self-assurance. Its brown-grey fur contrasts beautifully with the soft, out-of-focus background, making it stand out and immediately attract attention. The light accentuates the texture of his fur and the details of his horns, giving the photo an almost painterly feel. The image exudes a combination of elegance and untamed strength, a tribute to nature and its pristine beauty.

This photo is more than a work of art; it adds character and atmosphere to your interior. Ideal for a living room or study, it brings a sense of calm and connection with nature into your home. The warm colour palette blends seamlessly with different styles and adds a stylish, natural touch. At the same time, the picture is a real eye-catcher that tells a story and invites conversation. Whether you like sleek, modern interiors or have a warm, classic style, this photo adds a powerful, inspiring element that completes the space.
