Bernea was inspired by an inter-disciplinary spirit of sociological research…. He painted in cycles, focusing on a single, often domestic, object (e.g. ‘Food’, ‘Apples’, ‘Window’, ‘Hill’), painting them again and again, seeing them as in a contemplative distance.”By the 1980s Bernea was a well-established international artist. He was awarded the Francois Stahly Bursary at the 1971 Paris Biennale and a Romanian Academy prize in 1978; in 1976 his work was the subject of a film presented at a UNESCO conference in Baghdad. His exhibitions included the 1978 and 1980 Venice Biennales; he also exhibited at the Pompidou Centre in Paris and received positive reviews for his solo exhibitions in London, Liverpool and Newcastle.Between 1990 and 2000, he was director of Museul Țăranului Român ('The Museum of the Romanian Peasant'), an institution that received the "European Museum of the Year" award in 1996.
