Opredelio se za savremene skulpture koje su uglavnom apstraktne. Izrađuje ih u assemblage tehnici od indutrijskih masinskih delova, iz rane industriske epohe sa početka dvadesetog veka i delova visoko-tehnološke avio industrije (Daglas DC-9 I Boinga 727) koje godinama istrajno i dosledno selektuje. Nema crteža, ideje se rađaju direktno iz glave i sklapaju modularno jedan po jedan. Svaka skulptura ima slobodu i individualni izraz

Konstruiše ih od gotovih delova na kojima nikad fizicki ne interveniše. Kao takvi, ti delovi inkorporirani u skulpturu ostaju u svom originalnom izgledu. U svom konceptu prilikom rada na skulpturi neguje efekat iznanedjenja. Ne polazi od ideje o izgledu skulpture, već svoje delo gradi i artikuliše na zakonima čiste estetike, što podrazumeva primenu likovnih veština kroz: ritam, harmoniju,proprciju,lični senzibilitet…Tako nastala i gotova skulptura putem mentalnih asocijacija biva imenovana. Na neki nacin se uvek iznenadi šta je napravio.

Gligoriejević’s works are of an abastract sculptural nature. Produced from a combination of techniques where assemblages of industrial machine parts, sourced from the early 20th century as well parts from the peak era of technology within the aviation industry; specifically parts from the Douglas DC-9 I Boinga 727. For years the artist has hand selected his medium with specificity and persistancy. With no blueprints or sketches the artist creates directly from his mind’s ideas. Assembling modularly each sculpture one by one, each with its individual expression.

Gligoriejević constructs his pieces based on the readymade materials, used as they are, untouched by the artist. The parts are incorporated into each sculpture in their original form. Thusly, the artist does not neglect the idea of his art’s appearance, he simply builds on to each sculpture with aesthetic ideas very much present as he adds each individual part. He articulates rules of beauty, found in specific, subjective truths: rhythm, harmony, proportion, subjective sensibility…etc. Hence the result being a sculpture assembled through a journey of metal associations. Each piece is a pleasant surprise at the end of its own construction.
