In his work, mathematicians, poets, as well as himself and his surroundings frequently appear. Aat Verhoog won several art prizes, including the Jacob Maris Prize. His bronze sculptures are of the same style as his paintings. His work can be found both at home and abroad and in many collections of ministries, museums, and private collections. He always paints with oil on canvas. In 2020 Verhoog held his final exhibition at Pulchri Studio, the Hague-based artists' society where he began his career.
