In the Montreux region, the gardens are maintained all year round. In each season, specific flowers and plants adorn the lakeside. I have always seen Montreux gardeners as true artists for whom plants are their creative tool. Each portion of garden has a different theme, but all sections are made with seasonal flowers and plants. It is undeniably one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in Montreux. For this art work and in order to give more intensity to the composition, I chose to use the “Impasto” technique. The work was thus made entirely with a knife.
