The subject areas of Schüler's representational oil painting are depictions of people and landscapes that make references to German Romanticism . "At its core, the painterly work develops a network of real and imagined elective affinities: it designs a world full of consciously chosen affiliations." Motifs form Rhineland landscapes or portraits from family and friends. In the 1990s, the singer Amanda Lear was repeatedly the model for his paintings.

In 2016, Schüler painted a 21-part series of pictures, Black Flowers , on the subject of Auschwitz , including a series of portraits of prisoners based on photographs by camp photographer Wilhelm Brasse . The picture cycle was exhibited for the first time in the Städtische Galerie Speyer .
