These masters of form, color and light have stayed with him as inspiration as he strives to capture the subtleties that express the uniqueness of his subjects.  Aaron says about his connection to classical art - "When it\'s something that has been done in the past, you feel a lineage almost like a classical musician would.  It\'s the same experience those artists before you had, and you share in that."

This connection to history can be seen in Westerberg\'s style.  He sees his paintings as a combination of old world techniques and contemporary subject matter while at the same time striving for elegance and timelessness.  His focus is on values, edges, and brushstrokes was well as a solid use of color and contrast.
