Aaron’s works are now taking a new form of experimentation, something that’s trying to evolve away from his old set of abstract works. The artist does this without completely abandoning his trademark style, thus resulting in a fusion of two different things: the representational and the non-representational. He now fuses old pictures, taken from the past, some scenes, some portraitures and tries to incorporate them with his abstracts by using the photos as the first layer of his paintings.
The pictures are then glazed with soft colors to solidify form, then he covers it with a light layer of his usual abstract style, allowing the two genres to clash within each other.
After the colors dry up and blend within each other, the result is a battle of transparencies, a struggle between the old ways and the modern. This contrast has been a recurring theme within his works, and according to him, was deeply inspired by his hometown Angono’s cultural transformation, both in literal and figurative terms.
