“Untitled (Car Crash)” is a work by Carlos Almaraz created in 1987. Classified as figurative art, this painting belongs to the Neo-Expressionism movement and is part of the “Car Crash” series. The artist uses vivid color and dynamic brushwork to convey the intensity and motion of the subject matter.
The artwork itself depicts a vehicular accident characterized by an explosion of color and form. The image bursts with a chaotic array of brushstrokes that suggest the violent energy of an impact. Vivid reds, oranges, and yellows within a central cluster may represent flames or the explosion of the crash, contrasting with the relative calm of the surrounding environment suggested by cooler blues and greens. The scene gives an impressionistic portrayal of a moment of destruction, capturing the drama and the raw emotion of the event rather than its literal representation. Almaraz’s signature is visible at the bottom right of the painting, anchoring the work to its creator.
