He was Philippine Art Gallery group active in the post war years and introduced his approach to stylized rural scenes. He continued to depict the everyday when he moved to Mexico in the 1950s. Cid Reyes talks about Solomn Saprid, known for his expressionist sculptures He first practiced as an scientific illustrator for textbooks and teaching materials. He was encouraged to try sculpture by Vicente Manansala which proved to be the medium that gave much acclaim as an artist. Bernardo trained under Fernando Amorsolo who recommended him for a scholarship for graduate studies at Yale University. After his mentorship under Josef Albers, Bernardo returned to pursue a path as one of the foremost proponents of abstract painting.
