Michael Goller developed a gestural, direct painting that is supplemented by schematic perspectives. The lyrical compositions are partly intense and at the same time balanced in color. In many pictures he uses his own font, which looks rune-like.

Goller's pictures consist of nested levels of gestural and graphic elements. The access to his pictures is an "optical oscillation in the resonance frequency of the picture". He works on individual pictures for up to a year, "lets the painting coagulate in time", which does not contradict intuitive gestures.

Since 2012, after a phase of personal upheaval, a completely new phase of work in the artist's work has been emerging. The levels of perception no longer merge into a single image, but have formed threefold. The temporal levels that are inherent in us humans, the feeling for memory, the feeling for the future and in between the present as a snapshot of the ongoing time are now presented individually in a triad that the artist calls image-text context.

In 2003 he co-founded the Querschlag artists 'group and, together with Peter Piek, the Malfront artists' initiative (2003–2007). He has already received initial recognition after solo and group exhibitions in Germany and Europe.
