Corneille was at the cradle of Cobra. After the breakup of the group, Cobra remains important to him, which can be seen in the childlike imagery. In 1947 he came into contact with Surrealist art and literature. Surrealism unleashes a new freedom of fantasy for Corneille.​
A trip to Cuba, South America and Mexico in the mid-1960s marked the end of his gloomy and abstract paintings. Corneille has no explanation for this: "It just happened." Color and movement returned to his work, making it much more cheerful, influenced by the art of indigenous peoples. His work becomes figurative and he uses motifs such as women, trees and birds.​
Corneille does not make sketches or plans before starting a painting. "I start simple and the topic doesn't matter that much. It's about the intensity."​
