The Paul Röder Museum described Paul Röder's pictures as “an explosive in colors and structures. Initially still associated with the Impressionist style of painting, he soon switched to large-scale landscape paintings, which are best described as representational abstractions. The atmospheric in his compositions communicates the essentials and leaves the viewer a pleasantly wide range of "finding oneself" in the fantastic, in visions of color and form. "
