He created a new image with samples from his own works of the Tracks series, which have also been published in books. Even though the lines and colour still predominate, there are also figurative elements included. In his work, he used elements that recur on a regular basis, such as the architectural fault lines and shadows. We also see references to art history, such as the \u003cem\u003eMadonna\u003c/em\u003e of Fouquet for which Agnes Sorel, the legendary mistress of the French King Charles VII was a model. He attributes a life-sustaining role to the mistress / muse, much like the elixir around which everything revolves in \u003ci\u003eThe Makropoulos Case\u003c/i\u003e.

Hij gebruikte elementen die in zijn oeuvre vaker weerkeren, zoals de architecturale breuklijnen en schaduwen. Daarnaast zien we verwijzingen naar de kunstgeschiedenis zoals de\u003cem\u003e Madonna\u003c/em\u003e van Fouquet waarvoor Agnes Sorel, de legendarische ma\u0026icirc;tresse van de Franse koning Charles VII, model stond.
