Multiple Works
Austin Sepulveda is a mural and graffiti artist based in San Marcos, Texas. Growing up in Houston, Austin was influenced at an early age by skateboarding, music and graffiti culture. His interest and pursuit of art was a core foundation that molded the way he saw the world and interacted with it.
Through a handful of jobs and life changes, artwork was always the thread that tied everything together. In 2021 he started his full time mural career and has painted across the country and is looking forward to sharing it abroad. Using only spray paint he has developed his own style and a unique eye for composition that captures his subjects in a larger than life representation. His main goal is to create organic connections with the viewer, “I want them too look at my work and feel a part of it, nothing forced or faked but original and true to the subject”.
With his latest projects at the Moody Center, Austin celebrated iconic Texas music legends that helped to influence the very fabric of Texas and the attitude that comes with it. Paying homage to these artists was something more than a piece of art, it was moment in time captured and memorialized through spray paint and music. The tunes of Willie and SRV blaring through the halls now stamped with the imagery of these Texas icons will live on forever.
I wanted the three murals I painted to work together as a series while still having the ability to stand alone. The use of black and grey with pops of color were meant to represent the memorialization of these artists while also highlighting the bright light they shone on our state through eccentric music. A dance between the two to the tune of outlaw country and blues that influence the city of Austin, Texas to this day.
