(…) This exhibition is not only remarkably dedicated to Greece and its colors. It constitutes a further reading of the Greek spirit, novel and original, as it combines the Greek past with the inward soul of a great artist. (…)
(Vivi Vasilopoulou, O Kosmos tou Ependyti, 1-8-2009)
(…) Considered a minor artist in his lifetime, he was posthumously acknowledged as a seminal figure in contemporary art. Today Delvaux’s art is often compared to that of surrealist masters Dali, Rene Magritte and Giorgio de Chirico, whose work he has largely admired (…)
(Christy Papadopoulou, Athens News, 3-7-2009)
(…) An artist that was distrusted from the dominant museums, considering him inconsequential, while today they organize major exhibitions of his work with many readings. (…)

(…) The scenographic indications of the ancient temples, the anatomic components and the contemporary expressions which coexist with the biblical and the ancient ones, constitute a poetry of ruins, both artistic and social. The reading of the antiquity within the agony and the pursuit of modern man is what is remarkable in Delvaux. (…)
(Maria Nikolaou, Real News, 21-6-2009)
(…) It is an exhibition whose beauty is presumed, while the accompanying catalogue including the writings of Jean Clair, as well as his presence together with all the other personalities at the opening, make this happening unique in the Greek visual arts scene. (…)
(Katerina Zacharopoulou, To Ethnos, 7-6-2009)
(…) The way Delvaux represents the female nudes is so delicate that it feels like an exorcism. There is an eternal poetry in his work, as if he has transcended the soul’s mirror and tasted its loss. Fascinating. (…)
