What did the Greek painter ultimately keep from everything that dominated the international art scene in the 70’s, when he formed his personal style? Pop art gave him the freedom to often ironically blend modern consumer items into ancient or biblical themes, or even to bring real objects into the painting composition, thus creating a stimulating ambiguity. In addition, hyperrealism encouraged him to paint the objects in a plausible way, but he does not rely exclusively on photography, because Drouga is studying his composition from natural. By doing this, he can adjust anything he wants by looking at it and then chooses what he wishes to declare, to reject or imply in his pictures.

The compositions by Achilles Drouga are classic. The painter directs his motifs with balance and controlled precision. The painting process is slow, incorporating the duration into the poetry itself. All in the compositions of Drouga are as final as in engraving, which is also the other art method her had studied. There, the tools "hurt", the material without any room for repentance. The movement of the fine brushes used by the painter penetrate the undisturbed fluctuations of light on the surface of the objects by alternating their texture, producing a variety of "sounds" and rhythms that are experienced by the viewer's eyes as they explore the image in front of them. Light plays a leading role in the painting of Achilles Drouga. It is a spiritual light, a light that diffuses and captures the objects by blocking intense shadows. Inside this vivid light, things, shapes and colors acquire their platonic purity. Drouga never distorts the color by blending. That is why it is wrong to compare him with Caravaggio. His light is Greek in his most spiritual being. It is the light of the Greek-poets: Solomos, Sicilianus, Elytis. Drouga's painting reveals a world that is clear, sharp and passionate, an ideal place full of silence, tranquility and contemplation. Source: tovima.gr
