His work frequently depicts the tranquil shores of Lake Léman, the vineyards and villages of Lavaux, and the surrounding mountain ranges, including scenes of Les Diablerets. Many of his compositions capture atmospheric light, serene waters, and the characteristic architecture of the region, reflecting a strong attachment to the Swiss landscape. A significant portion of his known production dates from the 1920s and early 1930s, with numerous works signed and dated during this period. His paintings encompass lakeside views, alpine panoramas, village scenes, and occasional studies of the human figure. Parisod’s style aligns with the Swiss landscape tradition of his time, combining careful observation with a sense of calm and clarity. Throughout the decades following his death, his works have appeared regularly in Swiss galleries and auction houses, indicating a steady appreciation for his contribution to regional landscape painting.
