Thiem's ​​work can be roughly divided into two phases, the romantic, fantastic, humorous and grotesque painting and drawing period in the style of the Munich school.

As well as a second phase of work with landscapes and city images and portraits, which makes him a representative of German impressionism.

He liked to paint lively places, including the hustle and bustle in Munich and Venice. As part of an exhibition in the Neue Galerie in Munich in 1921, Fritz von Ostini wrote: "His style is not determined by a school, that is determined by his personality ... he gives each of these pictures his soul and his painterly magic" "Paul Thiem's ​​painting is closest to that of Compare Max Slevogt . His tonal painting tries to build atmospheric chords from the keys of muted brown and green tones, expressly referring to the music.
