Caravaggio, Rembrandt van Rijn, Josef Beuys, Jackson Pollok and Daido Moriyama, Anders Peterson, Balthasar Burkhard and very importent: Erwin Schrödinger the physicist and philosopher of science and his little book: “Was ist Leben? - Die lebende Zelle mit den Augen des Physikers betrachtet” (What is life? – the living cell in the view of a physicist)
Inspiration (other): F. Petrarca (1304-1374), sometimes Mr. M. Proust and for ever: the brilliant writer Jörg Fauser
