Dubai
You often ask me about Dubai, and this unusual pastel/watercolour-like colour palette in the images of the series. I feel it expresses well the physical pleasure and relaxing feeling of the warmth and humidity of the climate there.
I was curious to learn what’s behind the bustling and hustling and more importantly what’s in it – the tallest tower, the largest musical fountain, the World Islands, and fan-like Palm Jumeirah, the Burj on the beach in a yellow glow at dusk, the taste of fresh camel milk offered by a Bedouin in a desert, the smell of frankincense in the passageways, this oasis ridged by water channels echoing with calls for prayer…?
And can creatives create and forget about the means?

“Dubai is a city of ideas,” she says. During the past few months, Ms. Gerlikaite created a series of fine art images and texts reflecting her perception of the city.
“Dubai started with the vision of building a contemporary, modern city in a desert, prosperous and beautiful,” Ms. Gerlikaite says. “It is a city that attracts people from all over the world, willing to create their future.” This is what fascinates the artist.”
