With a splash of spray paint, color and cultura, the pair of local street artists that make up Los Otros Murals have been a driving force to put the San Antonio art scene on the map.

Shek Vega and Nik Soupe met in the late ‘90s, helped one another on various projects and then officially teamed up to form Los Otros in 2014.

Since then, the dynamic duo has gone on to leave their imprint on the city’s street art scene by infusing vibrant colors, designs and realism.

“It’s a great feeling to see our work across the city of San Antonio with hopes that it can inspire. We get to do what we love passionately as a career and that’s always an amazing feeling to have to see the support,” Vega told KSAT.

“He’s a great person to hang out with and a good friend of mine for a long time,” Soupe said.

Vega and Soupe were born and raised in South Texas and San Antonio. They understand the city’s culture and reflect that in their art.
