This work is a vibrant and expressive representation that evokes a neo-expressionist style. The disfigured faces and intense colors convey a sense of emotional chaos and disintegration, inviting the viewer to reflect on identity and vulnerability. The color palette, with a predominance of reds, blacks and blues, accentuates the drama of the scene, while the gestural strokes suggest an internal struggle or a repressed cry. The repeated circles and chaotic shapes in the figures add an almost obsessive texture, generating a sense of unease. The influence of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat or outsider art is perceived in the rawness and spontaneity of the piece, which seems more focused on conveying pure emotion than adhering to traditional norms of technique or proportion. It is a work that speaks directly from the unconscious, immersing the viewer in a visceral dialogue about the human, the grotesque and the psychological.
