Sand in the City

 

Original watercolor & ink artwork painted on location in Erlangen

 

The Story Behind the Artwork

 

Sand in the City was painted on location during Schlossstrand in Erlangen, a surprising summer moment where the city transformed itself into a temporary beach. Surrounded by buildings and heat, sand suddenly appeared in the heart of the city — beach chairs, a bar, and people slowing down as if they were by the sea.

 

This artwork captures that contrast: urban structure meeting playful escape. A reminder that even in the middle of concrete and routine, moments of lightness and joy can emerge.

 

Painted directly on site with ink and watercolor, this piece reflects the atmosphere of a hot summer day — relaxed, vibrant, and fleeting.

 

About the Artwork

 

This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork, not a print or reproduction.

Created using ink and watercolor on 100% cotton paper, the sketch preserves the spontaneity of drawing on location, where movement, light, and emotion shape every line.

 

Each brushstroke records a real moment in Erlangen — making this artwork both personal and place-specific.

Fizah – The Artist Behind Manjachen

I’m the artist and founder of Manjachen, where I lovingly create unique sketches and illustrations by hand.

 

Originally from Malaysia, I moved to Germany as a trailing spouse. My journey of adapting to a new culture and building a life in Bavaria has deeply influenced my artistic path.

 

I’m a mom to two lively boys and an artist who has been using my art to connect with people and build a sense of belonging in my new home here in Germany.

 

Through my sketches and illustrations, I capture the moments and emotions that bring us together.
