Nansen's painting is based on the lifestyle, often be overlooked, and deep inside the neglected individual. His paintings are characterized by their ambiguity. They are at once uncannily familiar yet lack a discernible narrative or identification, instead of creating a sense of hazy recollection or an elusive dream. The way he prepared the medium and painted the surface further emphasized the perseverance and unwieldiness of this work. To create a luminous spirit and apply tones on it, which seems to shimmer and shatter when illuminated from the inside, thus adding a variable quality to his paintings.
