AUSTIN, Texas – When creating a mural for the now-closed restaurant Masa y Más, Austin muralist Niz wanted the art to reflect the community. “At that point, I was like, there’s not one mural of a grandma or a Mexican family values and culture that I can think of, and so that was the initial inspiration,” Niz said. “Eventually, it sort of morphed into the chef wanting it to be his mom because a lot of the food at Masa y Más was inspired by his mom’s cooking and by Mexican street food.”
