From the series Black & White Relief paintings.

The ‘Black & White Relief’ series are inspired by the Aristotle vision of colors. Aristotle says in the 'De Sensu' that other colors are produced through the mixture of black bodies with white ones. The process is in the mixture of the four elements, earth, air, fire and water, as he described at such length in the 'De Generatione et Corruptione'. All surfaces are then produced through the mixture of these elements. This combination produces an entirely new substance, in which the characteristics of each element survive only in a modified form. For Aristotle the Fire element is considered white, and Earth is black, it is the presence of fire in a body that makes it white, and the absence of fire that makes it black. The other two elements, water and air, are usually treated as having no color of their own (through they can contribute to the color of a body into which they enter, air making it whiter and water making it darker).
