He was born in Mexico City in 1941.

When he was one year old, his family moved to Chicago in the United States, where he lived until he was nine, when they moved to Los Angeles due to his father's health. While in Chicago, his family frequently traveled to Mexico City. During these trips, Almaraz had his first contact with Mexican art.

Se graduó en 1959 en la Garfield High School y luego asistió al Los Angeles City College, estudiando allí con David Ramirez. Tomó también clases en la Loyola Marymount University. Esta universidad le brindó la oportunidad de una beca pero la rechazó como demostración de protesta hacia el apoyo que la universidad daba a la guerra de Vietnam. Abandona también en ese momento su fe católica. Asiste luego a la Universidad Estatal de California en Los Angeles y también a cursos nocturnos del Otis College of Art and Design, donde obtiene un Master en Bellas Artes. En Nueva York estudió durante cinco años expresionismo abstracto, minimalismo, conceptualismo y arte de representación.

Durante los 70 se involucró con el movimiento campesino y con el movimiento de arte mural de Los Angeles. En 1973 fue uno de los miembros fundadores del movimiento de arte chicano, Los Cuatro, junto a Gilbert “Magu” Luján, Roberto de la Rocha y Frank Romero. Es reconocido por sus representaciones de Echo Park y de los accidentes automovilísticos en autopistas, mostrando así el paisaje urbano de Los Angeles usando explosivas texturas pictóricas y colores brillantes.

Almaraz dibujó constantemente, escribió poemas e ideas filosóficas en cuadernos y durante más de 25 años completó más de 50 libros.

Gracias a sus pasteles, pinturas y murales, Almaraz sigue siendo una referencia importante para los artistas latinos.

Se casó con Elsa Flores, activista chicana y fotógrafa y muralista igual que él, ambos produjeron "California Dreamscape".

Muere en diciembre de 1989.
