Giger had his beginning with small ink sketches prior to advancing to oil paintings. For the majority of his career, Giger has created art primarily in airbrush, producing monochromatic canvasses portraying dreamlike, alarming dream scapes. He has for the most part given up big airbrush pictures in favor of art done in pastels, markers or ink. Gigers most identifying stylistic conception is that of a presenting of human forms and machines in a inhuman, interrelated relationship, named with the term biomechanical. His pictures frequently exhibit fetishistic sexual mental imagery. His principal influences have been artists Ernst Fuchs as well as surrealistic painter Salvador Dalí. He encountered Salvador Dalí, to whom he had been introduced by artist Robert Venosa. Giger had been likewise a personal friend to Timothy Leary. Giger is possibly the most renowned victim of night terrors and his art works can be mostly to a degree motivated by his experiences with this specific sleep disorder. Giger had been originally trained as an architect and created his primary paintings for a method of art therapy.

Giger's paintings for the band the Dead Kennedys record album Frankenchrist, Landscape XX had been at the heart of an obscenity lawsuit against Eric Reed Boucher who was also known as. Jello Biafra, singer in the popular San Francisco punk movement band the Dead Kennedys.

Giger has produced furniture projects, in particular the Harkonnen Capo Chair for a film (which has never gone into production) adaptation of the book Dune which was initially set to be directed by Alejandro Jodorowski. Several years afterward, David Lynch directed the movie, employing only very restrained rough ideas by Giger. Giger had wanted to work with Lynch, while he had stated that Lynch's picture Eraserhead was the nearest thing to depicting H.R. Giger's art in cinema,even which included the pictures that Giger himself had worked with, as referenced in one of Giger's own Necronomicon books.

Giger has practiced his unique biomechanical manner to interior design and decorating as well, multiple "Giger Bars" opened in the cities of Tokyo, New York, as well as his native country of Switzerland, even though many of the bars have since shut down. One of these was bar known as The Limelight located in Manhattan in 1993 -- during the era, the bars boasted faux embryos floating inside jars, afloat in a back light of pink liquid. Gigers works have greatly molded tattooist artists and fetishists internationally. Ibanez guitars has brought out an H.R. Giger signature set. Giger as well planned a complicated microphone stand for lead singer Jonathan Davis from the band Korn.

Giger is frequently named to in pop culture, particularly in art of science fiction as well as cyberpunk styles. Novelist William Gibson (who penned an earlier script for the film Alien 3) appears especially captivated.
