His painting style was distinguished by a broad painting, vivid colors, energetic separate swab. Alberti often uses impasto style of blending paints and intricate texture of canvas. This is especially true of his later still lifes with fruits and flowers. Alberti attached great importance to the painting from the life. While working on the genre composition, he painted numerous nature studies, many of which have independent artistic value.[14]

Among the works of this period were «Still Life»[23] (1977), «Still Life with Melon»,[24] «Peonies and Cherries on a Tray» (both 1980), «Peonies»[25] (1991), «Still Life with Watermelon»[26] (1992).
