En el prólogo a un álbum de cuadros de Nisski, Aleksandr Deineka escribió: «Sus obras no son vistas de lugares que existen en nuestro planeta, sino algo parecido a patrones de bosques, claros, aldeas. Precisamente porque en las obras de Nisski subyace siempre un concepto amplio y generalizado, tienen un hálito épico».
