His palette on the other hand is wild. Talk about taking the art of painting edge to edge, color to color, to the max…! Every lil'l crevice of his painting has fluidity that is totalitarian as well as concretizing the conceptual issues he tries to address…throughout all of Bernardo's life there is the abstract explorer, the colorist, the anatomist…" - Sass Saucelito © 1998 Artscope.net
