His works embody the pursuit of spiritual balance, rhythm, and universal order, emphasizing the idea of parallelism where structures in nature and human existence echo an inner harmony. Hodler's paintings often feature serene, sacred compositions that elevate figures and landscapes to the level of icons. His artistic legacy raises questions about the meaning of order in the modern world, influencing contemporary artists to explore and reinterpret his themes in innovative ways.
