Discover Berlin as you’ve never seen it before with this beautiful watercolor book by Fabrice Moireau. Accompanied by the captivating texts of Boris von Brauchitsch, this work immerses us in the history and iconic places of the German capital.
Berlin is a young and dynamic city that perfectly blends history and modernity. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a whole new identity emerged. With the fusion of two cultures, its reunification gave birth to a unique city where the old coexists with the new, and diversity is celebrated.
Passionate about urban architecture, artist Fabrice Moireau traveled through Berlin to immortalize its iconic places. Armed with his brush, he captures the very essence of the city in his watercolors. From the majestic Brandenburg Gate to the Berlin Wall Memorial, he takes us on a journey through time.
For a complete immersion in the capital of Germany, let yourself be transported by the words of Boris von Brauchitsch. This art historian and writer complements the watercolors of Berlin with texts rich in history and culture. He explores its urban development, artistic personalities, and the historical upheavals that have shaped its landscape.

Boris von Brauchitsch, born in 1963 in Aachen, is a writer, art historian, photographer, and exhibition curator. He studied art history in Frankfurt, Bonn, and Berlin, where he wrote his thesis on the history of photography. He is the author of biographies of artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Lesser Ury, and has also published books on the Renaissance, the history of photography, and urban development in Berlin, as well as novels and a play. He lives between Berlin and Ingenio on the island of Gran Canaria.
He is the author of Berlin Sketchbook, published by Éditions du Pacifique.
Fabrice Moireau, born in 1962, is a graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Arts appliqués et des métiers d’Art (National School of Applied Arts and Crafts). Inspired by his many travels, he creates sketchbooks that are both cultural and ethnographic testimonials. Passionate about architecture, gardens, and nature, he uses watercolors to capture the subtlety of light and the atmosphere of streets and landscapes.
His career took shape during his studies, where he excelled in observational drawing and trained as a stand designer/set designer, before creating his first travel journals for the Chaumont-sur-Loire Garden Festival. His approach quickly attracted attention, and his sketchbooks led to commissions for Vuitton and then Éditions du Pacifique, with whom he produced more than 35 art books devoted to cities and regions around the world, from Paris to New York, Lisbon to Provence.
Contemplative, Fabrice Moireau paints in situ, sometimes sitting for hours on a simple fishing stool, capturing the light, framing and details with precision. His works have been the subject of numerous exhibitions, about one per year, and reflect a sensitive and poetic view of the world.
Fabrice Moireau is the author of the following books published by Éditions du Pacifique: Berlin Sketchbook, Bretagne Sketchbook, Paris Sketchbook, Corse Sketchbook, Florence Sketchbook, Gardens de Paris Aquarelles, Lisbonne Sketchbook, and Normandie Sketchbook.
