Schippers' style is characterized by a loose brushstroke, an expressive use of color and a simplification of forms, features that place him within the tradition of modern European figuration of the mid-twentieth century. Throughout his career he participated in exhibitions at the regional level and his work reflects the continuity of figurative painting in an era marked by the coexistence between abstraction and figurative tendencies. His work maintains a relationship with the pictorial tradition of Northern Europe, where the observation of reality and the interest in compositional structure continue to be fundamental elements of artistic practice.
