His work in the 1620s and 1630s employed decorative forms, loose compositions and a broad technique reminiscent of Rubens. Earlier influences on him such as Jan Brueghel the Younger and Paul Bril continued to play a significant role.

The contrast with Rubens is evident in Wildens' serene ' (Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp), which was partly inspired by Rubens' more dynamic ' (National Gallery, London).
