Described as hypnotic and different, Aaron’s art draws people into a sense of peace and comfort in a world of change and uncertainty. Jumping between his two styles, Aaron creates wall hanging paper reliefs as well as a more traditional use of acrylic, oil, and mixed media. Inspired by nature, meditation, and the mythologies of ancient cultures, his art captures a prolonged snapshot of the unexplainable. Though labeled as collage, assemblage, paper relief, wall sculpture, or topographical map, Aaron's art has always been able to create a unique art experience. “I know that everytime I sit to start a painting, it is going to be a different experience. Art for me is about exploration as much as it is expression. The canvas, paper, and photograph is a mirror through which I am having an intimate conversation with myself. It is here I can describe the sensation of things in a language of color, shape, and pattern. I love creating moods and feelings that don’t necessarily comment on any specific view, but rather the way in which we assemble information through our senses.”
