About the artwork

The village of Lauterbrunnen is surely the most famous in Switzerland. Thousands of tourists come here every year and this place is the most photographed. And yet I wanted to take this photo so badly because it is so beautiful. The cute little white church amidst the huge mountains is Switzerland at its best. In this version, I used calm blues and orange/brown colours because the original green and yellow don't suit every interior. This version is beautiful in a living room, bedroom, hallway and toilet, both in a frame and on wallpaper.

Lauterbrunnen is a small, enchanting village in Switzerland's Bernese Oberland, particularly popular with travel photographers and artists for its dramatic natural surroundings. It lies in a narrow valley surrounded by towering cliffs and impressive waterfalls, including the iconic Staubbach waterfall, which cascades from almost 300 metres. This landscape offers numerous opportunities for capturing stunning compositions, with the serene village atmosphere contrasting with the rugged Alps. The changing light conditions, especially during sunrise and sunset, make each photo unique. For artists, the landscape looks like it is straight out of a painting, with traditional chalets, green meadows and the ever-present mountain peaks. This combination of tranquillity and grandeur makes Lauterbrunnen an inspiration for many creatives.
