Simple Sunday Finds Lost Memories In Berlin Germany!
Welcome to the CPC’s
Simple Sunday Picture Challenge!
Berlin, Germany is our stop this week,
to view the work of Svenja Jodicke,
an artist on dviantart.com for four years,
where she resides under the display name PixieCold.

Svenja was born in Berlin, Germany and grew up in a creative, big family. She and her five siblings have been enjoying art ever since they can remember and what started as a hobby became Svenja’s profession in early 2012. Art means much more to her than in the times when she just grabbed some pencils and paper as a pastime. In fact art gave new sense to her life and rescued her, when she was facing a rough time, living on the street without shelter and purpose, rebelling against the grievances in her personal and political environment. In 2009 Svenja discovered the possibilities of sharing her art on the Internet and thus getting her formative experiences and expressions out of her system. To her surprise people appreciated her art and within three years she has become widely known and grew a solid fanbase. Her little daughter now fulfills her life and is the reason why she keeps going and tries to establish herself with her art.
About the makeup pictures:
Svenja originally started as a conventional traditional artist, experimenting with different mediums such as watercolor, acrylics and collages. After her experiences on the street her depicted subjects got darker and more abstract. Eyes were and still are always the main focus of all her works, as they fascinate her and are able to tell unspoken stories. In 2012 Svenja crossed over to the seemingly endless possibilities of makeup art and photography. While she is taking photographs of her eyes she is trying to express her feelings and to make the viewer of her works dive into another world full of colors, emotions and extravagance.
Our featured image this week is one of her latest,
and is titled “Lost in Memories.”

TEARS OF REFLECTION
Too many parties at too high a cost.
too many flatteries where virtue lost.
Dressed up for another, makeup on,
memories of past loves come and gone.
Tears well up in windows on her world,
mix with rainbow shadows like flags unfurled.
She sees her life melt on her, in the mirror
Bright colors meant to decorate, not stain her.
One melancholy moment locked in time
thanks to artist’s spatial skill sublime.
Time warp from the Seventies, some might say.
Dripping pains may water growth some brand new day.

COLORS OF LOVE LAY HIDDEN
~
Blue tears
I shade for you
Blue as the ocean deep
Thats how my heart hurt when you went away
I cry for you but you never knew
Just how many fell
I painted myself
Many colors of love I have for you
You never saw they
Yellow pinks blues and greens for you
Blue on blue
The tears fell
Ran down my face
Yet no one knew not even you
Oh how love can hurt one so and the colors didnt show the love there deep inside
