Deligiannidis's works, in colour or black & white, often remind us of graffiti images that we usually come across in public spaces. Regardless of this aesthetic relation, Deligiannidis's goal is not to intervene in his environment in order to alter it, but -via an unconscious, automatic process- to translate on paper his spontaneous reactions to everything around him, the first instants of his interaction with the world.
As the artist himself comments: "Movement in space can be harmonious or not. It can be straight, diagonal or circular; it can create geometrical shapes, words, doodles, fractal, even landscapes. A movement can be destructive, healing or enchanting. This is a series of works that document the simple spontaneous movements that represent my feelings when I'm starting a conversation, when I'm flirting, when I'm asking or giving or playing. All in all, these are the movements that come between the beats of my heart and their utterances. It is the representation of my mobilisation."
