Hello, welcome to my blog. My name is Mitza. I have a lot of artistic hobbies and would like to share them with you. I started drawing in my early childhood. Many years later I studied art (illustration) for 4 years.
As a young girl I became fond of jewellery. Since many, many years I visit flea-markets and collect old jewellery. Some years ago I had the opportunity to study the art of goldsmithery by a latvian master. Since then I design and do jewellery with silver, fine-gold and various precious stones.
In my past-time I love to photograph. With my little camera I walk around in our garden in order to look at all the beautiful flowers from up close and to photograph them. Some of my photos also show the Greek island Kephalonia.
Many years ago I visited an exhibition about old Egyptian burial objects. The thought that somebody had created something so beautiful such a long time ago and that I could look at it so many thousand years later, fascinated me. In my imagination I saw a person sitting in the desert creating a piece of art, and I thought an artist can leave a footprint behind.
Regarding visual arts and photography I like to illustrate the decay and lonelyness, because it really touches me. Beauty is decaying but in decay there can be beauty, too. Regarding my jewellery I also take care about a good composition.

Hallo, willkommen in meinem blog. Ich heiße Mitza. Ich habe viele künstlerische Hobbies und möchte Euch gerne daran teilhaben lassen.
Vor vielen Jahren besuchte ich im Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg eine Ausstellung über ägyptische Grabbeilagen. Der Gedanke, dass dort ein Mensch vor sehr, sehr langer Zeit etwas so Wunderschönes mit einfachsten Mitteln erschaffen hat und ich es so viele tausend Jahre später mit großer Bewunderung und Begeisterung anschauen konnte, hat mich fasziniert. In Gedanken habe ich diesen Menschen im Wüstensand dort sitzen und arbeiten sehen und dachte mir: ein Künstler kann eine Spur seines Schaffens hinterlassen, viele andere Menschen sind irgendwann vergessen.
Zu mir persönlich ist zu sagen, dass ich schon als kleines Kind gerne zeichnete. Erst später habe ich 4 Jahre Kunst (Illustration) studiert.
Als junges Mädchen begann ich, Schmuck zu lieben und zu sammeln. Seit ich 20 bin, besuche ich sehr häufig Flohmärkte und habe zuerst alten Schmuck gesammelt. Vor ein paar Jahren hatte ich die Möglichkeit, bei einem lettischen Goldschmied mehrere Kurse zu belegen. Seitdem entwerfe und fertige ich Schmuck aus Sterlingsilber, Feingold und verschiedenen Halbedelsteinen.
In meiner Freizeit fotografiere ich außerdem gerne. Mit meiner kleinen Kamera bin ich oft in unserem Garten unterwegs, um all die schönen Blumen ganz nah anzuschauen und zu fotografieren.
In der bildenden Kunst und in der Fotografie stelle ich gerne den Verfall und die Einsamkeit dar. Es berührt mich schon deshalb, weil ich selbst nicht mehr jung bin. Schönheit ist vergänglich, aber auch in der Vergänglichkeit kann Schönheit liegen. Bei meinem Schmuck kommt es mir genau wie bei meinen Bildern auf eine gute Komposition an.

Hello ! Thank you for visiting my blog. I’m glad you came so I can now discover your universe a bit 😉
It was really a pleasure visiting your blog which brought back sweet memories of many stays in London. I hope you enjoy to discover my universe, I liked yours, too. Have a nice evening, regards Mitza
Thanks for taking a look at my blog.
it was my pleasure, regards Mitza
Is it not amazing the strange connections between plants and people–connections capable of stirring humans to great artistic efforts?! Thank you for sharing yours.
Maybe you have to be very sensitive to feel the divinity of nature, to see that everything has been created in the golden ratio and that’s so beautiful. This beauty calms me down and sometimes makes me speechless, overwhelmed even. Regards Mitza
Thank you for sharing those realizations.
Thanks for sharing your art with us and thanks for stopping by my blog.
It was a pleasure stopping by your blog and thank you for your nice words. Have a nice Sunday, regards Mitza
Beautiful Work!
Thank you so much for your kind words, have a nice day, regards Mitza
Thank you for stopping by my blog and the ‘like’ for atrivialmindatwork.com.
I have enjoyed looking through your pictures. I have been doing a lot of macro pictures lately, but I am about to go back to landscape shots for a while. Hope you can come back and check the blog out again!
Thanks again.
I’m glad you enjoyed looking through my pictures. Maybe it’s good to change topics from time to time. I will take a look at your new photos. Have a nice evening, regards Mitza
MITZA, I love your work…..LOVE from SF
Thank you for your nice comment. I send you some good wishes from Germany, regards Mitza
Hello Mitza, thank you for sharing. Ive enjoyed looking at your wonderful gallery. When I was doing my silversmithing and Jewellery degree, the tutor always said that I looked too close and not looked at the bigger picture. However, I prefer to look closer and it looks like you also do the same 😉 Happy making.
Thank you for your comment. I see, we have even more in common – silversmithing. That’s nice. Are you still doing jewellery sometimes and put it in your blog? I think I will follow you now in order to look at your beautiful things. Regards Mitza
Glad to hear that you too find beauty in decay.
Well, maybe you do find it in decay, too, then we are already two. Beauty is not always new or young. Beauty has wrinkles or scratches. Thanks for your comment and have a nice day, regards Mitza

ML,
Andy
Hi Andy, I feel very honored about your proposal. Somebody else has already tried to propose me but I refused because it’s too much work for me right now to find 10 others and to write about myself. I hope very much, that you are not angry with me. But I like your photos and your about. Sorry, Mitza
No problema, I have had many of these and normally ignore them, but the young person who nominated me seemed so sincere that I decided to do it anyway… so of course I am not angry, I sort of felt guilty nominating you and the 9 others…I love your blog and wish you the best!
I’m happy to hear this, Andy. I wish you the best, too and will continue to look into your posts. Have a wonderful day, regards Mitza

You’re most welcome!
Hi Mitza, where do I find your latest photos? Thanks for commenting on my work, I really appreciate it!

Hi Mitza, thank you for taking a look at my blog and for leaving a comment. I appreciate it very much.

gosh, I thought I’d commented here! Mitza you have a wonderful website blog, and I love your jewelry designs, macro flowers and the gorgeous doors! What an excellent eye for color and texture & what lies beneath. cheers, Debi
thanks a lot, Debi. We all got our talents, some more, some less and our neighbours none, hehe
You Are So Gifted Mitza!
I know… and I whinge that others are so gifted whizzes at computer ‘stuff’ and do so well at it. assets/liabilities….. have to remind myself on that one 🙂
but you know how to present your blog well, Debi. We cannot have all the talent in the world. These computer whizzes are usually no artists and vice versa.
my appreciation Mitza, it is true we all have assets and some weaker points. A good point.
We are only intelligent when we know that we don’t know anything
a degree of intelligence 🙂 lol
🙂
Mitza thank you for visiting my blog! I look forward to following you and your world! God bless!!
Thanks for visiting my blog and following. I just follow you now, too.
Thank you for visiting
it was my pleasure
I love that Your wrote in two languages. I appreciate it. .)
thanks a lot for this compliment. I could have written in some more, because I learned 5 languages.
Sounds awesome. I am pure language amateur who loves languages. I started my blogging in English, Spanish and French. Since about two years, I added Portuguese. My home language is Finnish. In school, I learned also German, but during the years, I have forgotten much of it although we make every now and then road trips to there. In addition, I understand Swedish.
Happy weekend!
Great, you know a lot of languages, too. I understand a little Swedish, too, have been there many times, and due to my Latin in school I understand Italian and Spanish, without having learned it. And your English is perfect, too. Happy weekend, too.
great Portfolio, have a good day dear Mitza…from the dreamy banks of river Eider near Kiel Canal…
Werner
Vielen Dank, Werner. Wir können auch gern auf Deutsch kommuniziere. Kiel ist ja nicht weit von Hamburg. Schönen Tag noch, Gruß Mitza
