As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we’re highlighting October’s #MonthlyMural “From the Westside to Worldwide: The Story of Robert ‘Pikin’ Quiroga” by San Antonio artist Mike “Comp” Arguello. The mural honors Robert “Pikin” Quiroga, San Antonio’s first world champion boxer, and celebrates his journey from a San Antonio local to a world champion. 🥊🎨
The mural is a visual timeline that weaves together Quiroga’s story through photos, headlines, and memories. It celebrates San Antonio pride and inspires future generations to believe greatness can come from their own neighborhood.
