Besides the restoration of many important frescoes, he created a number of original works, ceiling frescoes, altarpieces and crossroads. He lived in Munich from 1888 to 1933. During this period, he painted the ceilings of the church of St. Andreas in 1908 and 1927 with remarkable scenes of the holy family, the annunciation and the way to the cross. He later moved to Ruswil LU. Since 1933, he performed various religious paintings in Grossdietwil, Grosswangen, Ruswil, Rüediswil and Sursee. He painted the frescos in the chapel of St. Jost and St. Wendelin in Rüediswil (Lucerne, Switzerland) in 1936. Besides the frescoes, he worked as portrait painter. His talent to express the essence and the character of people gained the highest recognition. He died in Ruswil (Lucern) in 1938. His younger son Willy Huwiler took over his legacy to start the third generation of artists.
