His paintings Luminous Haze and The Swirling Trees are considered to be among his most notable works, and they demonstrate his unique style of abstract art. In addition to painting, Cyliax also worked in other mediums, including graphic design and typography.

He was a member of the Deutscher Werkbund, a German association of artists and designers, and his work was included in the influential exhibition Die Form in 1929.
