![An illustration features a surreal scene with an Alpine Ibex merging with rocky mountain peaks, embodying the spirit of the Alps. The Ibex takes on the form of a commanding mountain itself, standing prominently in the landscape. The setting sun casts a warm glow behind the Ibex-shaped peak, while a dark blue sky stretches overhead, overlooking a coniferous woodland at the mountain's base.](https://cdn.myportfolio.com/50d105cd646d14fbb76fce8f26d72995/ffe27b77-dedf-4bee-8b6f-1ad90a21bafc_rw_1920.jpg?h=13d6be236d1c1d11b28b4c5c028ab7a2)
I created this image for a magazine dedicated to nature and wildlife. I focused on the remarkable fauna inhabiting the Alps, with a particular emphasis on the Alpine Ibex. Hunted to the brink of extinction in the 19th century, these magnificent creatures now enjoy protected status, their populations flourishing. Here, I celebrate their resilience and the conservation efforts that have led to their resurgence as the regal rulers of the Alps.
