From the beginning of the 90’s a theme that was about to last for the artist’s paintings makes its appearance: the fossilized white still life that will always have a sign of color in it. These still lifes symbolize the immobile time, the life that is just a memory, the time that seeks to flow and after that transforms into an eternity. This is precisely the quintessence of Drouga’s art. Objects and forms are detached from their familiar everyday life and with a magical touch of the paint they are transformed, they lose the character they are remembered by and are changed into timeless symbols that belong to another reality. The art of Achilles Drouga is a meditation on time, on its deterioration and its overcoming through creation, through beauty.

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
