L'alpiniste sur la cime (2020) Painting by Ludovic Perrenoud

Ludovic Perrenoud is a contemporary Swiss painter. The artist is continually inspired by his hometown of Vevey, which is located at the base of the Alps on the shores of Lake Geneva. He creates his love of the mountains by engaging in various mountaineering, climbing, telemark, and trial activities. All of his passions strengthen his artistic tendencies because the artist is constantly looking for natural energies to push him past his limitations.

He focuses his time on accurately recreating his two main sources of inspiration, natural scenery and landscapes, in an effort to capture the forces that motivate him. By enlarging his style, he pays homage to the notable citizens of his country whom he admired, such as mountaineer Ueli Steck and alpine pilot Herman Geiger. In particular, he uses the superposition technique -portrait on top of landscape - for the latter. For more "anatomical" depictions, he is also inspired by the spirit of the time or by the challenges he faced growing up.

Ludovic Perrenoud was born in 1976, in Switzerland.
