Nielsen's designs unite strong linearity with delicate colouring. Characterized by a sense of two-dimensional flatness Nielsen's objects and people are highly stylized: foxglove blossoms hang in measured asymmetry; princes and princesses stand on improbably long legs; and their garments billow in gravity-defying parabolas. The power of his illustrations lies in his uncanny ability to retrieve a story's emotional effect on its reader and to recreate it visually in two dimensions" The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales.
