Peter Alma is a communist artist, this is reflected in his style and his choice of subjects. He believed that an artist should serve humanity. In the 1920s he mainly made works in the style of figurative constructivism, an avant-garde painting style from Russia. This style is characterized by the use of many geometric shapes and a limited color palette. Constructivists often represent technology and/or the industrial world with their art. Later Peter Alma mainly made monumental work, a well-known example of a work in this style can be seen as a wall painting in the Amstel station in Amsterdam.
At a certain period in his life, Peter Alma often chose socialist and communist political subjects, such as a factory worker. From the end of the 1930s, Alma more often chose neutral scenes such as landscapes, still lifes, street scenes
