El Sombrerón by Gaby Moreno

A one-of-a-kind piece created using vintage sheet music and drawn by hand with Cray-Pas oil pastels.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of summer with "El Sombrerón" by Gaby Moreno.

This work transforms a found musical artifact into a visual interpretation—bridging sound and image. The aged paper, once meant to be played, now serves as the foundation for a new expression, carrying its history into a different medium.

This piece explores themes of memory, reinterpretation, and transformation—where music becomes visual and discarded materials are given new life. Referencing “El Sombrerón” by Gaby Moreno, the work connects rhythm, nostalgia, and cultural storytelling through both material and subject.

Hand-drawn and layered directly onto the vintage sheet music, the texture of the paper interacts with the richness of the oil pastels. The imperfections, tonal variations, and wear of the original material remain visible, adding depth and authenticity that cannot be replicated.
