Bernardo Roman Palau introduces a work body that embraces loss and regeneration. In each painting, deformity and beauty are present in equal measure. The works are about hope, strength, resilience, and gentleness.

Although Palau’s precise trompe-l’oeil technique is firmly rooted in tradition, his subject matter is current and universal. The word enigmatic is probably most descriptive of the content of his paintings. Brushstrokes are almost imperceptible, allowing the artist's persona to remain anonymous. Meaning is implied, and symbols are employed, both as a means of enlightening the viewer and of creating questions. Palau creates a dream world that seems, on one hand, more tangibly real than observed nature, and on the other, of an almost ethereal essence. The precise rendering of everyday objects and subjects in unusual juxtapositions and suppression of all extraneous detail are used as a point of departure, then infused with a strong emotional and mythological bias.
