In this work, we aim to illustrate an anthropological view of the work of the Spanish sculptor and painter Antonio Teno Teno, which reveals his almost obsessive preoccupation with the figure of the Knight Errant, a defining Cervantes character for Spanish literature, Don Quixote de la Mancha, a dreamer, also called the Knight of the Sad Figure. Teno's artistic genius was manifested through overwhelming creations as a force of plastic expression, which impresses with the finesse and refinement of the image, with the power of suggestion that perfectly defines the characteristics of this charismatic character and the ingenuity of the use of materials, texture, and colors that contextualize precisely the character. The 2023 Exposition at the Convention Center of Córdoba is an homage to this remarkable contemporary artist, who achieved international recognition during his lifetime. A plus is the curatorial vision, which uses ancient decorative elements to illustrate Spain's authentic historical traditions and immerses the spectator in a cathartic space. The imaging tautology is contextualized differently to highlight each work.
