Gabriel Moreno
Gabriel Moreno is just 25 years old and as you can see from his work he has been drawing for a long time. In fact, he got started when he was just a child.
"I started drawing all kind of motorsports, influenced by Retro Racing Magazines of my country", explains Gabriel.
He was very interested in the black and white pictures of Indy 500 and Formula 1, so he continued with his favorite technique, which is the coloured pencils. He gradually started to develop his own technique based in realistic artworks.
He just drew the race cars from up close angles, no landscapes. At the age of 16, he did some of his first colour drawings and only last year in 2014, he receive his first commission. It seems a long time ago as he has since sold more than 40 original drawings, all from Formula 1 to Le Mans Sportcars, also including '"Turismo Carretera", the most popular racing in Argentina.
A few months ago he met ex- Formula 1 driver Oscar "Poppy" Larrauri, a great Argentinian driver who lives in his city, "he signed my 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche 962C work" commented Gabriel.
His work was also recognized and appreciated by another international driver, Jorge Cupeiro who now has one of Gabriel's pieces to cherish. Jorge Cupeiro is a well know Argentinian driver from Buenos Aires who had a good career during the 60's and the 70's.
His favorite method is still the pencils, match colours and techniques like pastel chalks, details in acrylic paint, etc.
He is currently working on several commissions, drawing all kinds of racing around the world, DTM, Le Mans, Formula 1, Nascar and rally.
