Discovering Erlangen Through Art – Watercolor & Ink Sketches of My New Home

Discovering Erlangen: Sketching My New Home in Germany – Watercolor and Ink Artworks

Since moving to Germany, I’ve found inspiration in the charming city of Erlangen, a place that has become my creative home. Through my urban sketches, I capture the city’s historical architecture, lively community spaces, and the essence of everyday life. Each piece in this collection reflects my journey of adapting to a new culture while finding beauty in the ordinary moments of my new surroundings.

Discovering Erlangen – A Personal Art Journey in Watercolor and Ink

Since arriving in Germany, Erlangen has quietly become the heart of my creative life. With my sketchbook in hand, I’ve wandered through its parks, plazas, and old town streets — translating impressions of daily life into watercolor and ink.

This collection reflects my first years of adaptation: learning a new language, raising children abroad, and finding beauty in Erlangen’s architecture, rhythm, and seasons. From the symmetrical calm of the Schlossgarten to the hidden corners of the botanical garden and the play of sunlight on Altstadt façades — each sketch tells a quiet story of connection and discovery.
