Tenorio's artistic style is a mesmerizing blend of surrealism and symbolism, where objects and figures dance in a harmonious yet disquieting balance. His paintings invite viewers to embark on a journey through the depths of their own subconscious, exploring the hidden realms of dreams and the enigmatic language of the unconscious.

One of the recurring themes in Tenorio's work is the exploration of the duality of night and day, a dichotomy that symbolizes the constant interplay between the conscious and subconscious mind. In his painting "Night and Day," a lone figure stands at the crossroads of two worlds, one bathed in the ethereal glow of the moon, the other illuminated by the warm rays of the sun. The figure's body is a canvas upon which the passage of time is etched, with one half representing the youthful exuberance of day and the other the wisdom and experience of night.

Tenorio's surrealist imagery extends beyond the physical realm, delving into the depths of the human psyche. His paintings are a mirror reflecting the complexities of the subconscious, where dreams, memories, and fears intertwine in a labyrinthine dance. In "The Dream Collector," a figure floats amidst a sea of floating clocks, each marking a different moment in time. The figure's eyes are closed, as if lost in the depths of slumber, while ethereal hands reach out from the darkness to gather the ticking timepieces, symbolizing the subconscious's ability to capture and preserve fragments of our past.
