“Pablo Bernasconi crea un universo no lineal, con su imagen partitura, compone un mensaje incompleto, retazos de un discurso cargado de guiños e implicaturas que el lector, su cómplice, completa y reorganiza, introduciendo en la imágen lo que no está, lo que prolijamente el ilustrador ha ocultado”.
