BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Manuel Doblas, born in Humilladero (Málaga) in 1957, but trained from a very young age in Catalonia and with a mindset well rooted among us, has been a painter for many years. He followed the path of joint exhibitions starting in 1981 and held his first solo show in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we meet him again today. He has won many prizes in diverse places and he has not minded participating regularly—he still does—in quick-painting contests throughout Spain. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find his own formulas that define his style, often leads to adopting recurrent ways, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to say with authority what he desires.

Only those who fear explaining believe that they will soon find themselves. And those who are always thinking—this is the case of Manuel Doblas—never stop feeling the restlessness to move forward. That is why this painter, whose latest work we see now, seeks high spaces by capturing the verticality of skyscrapers and depicts abandoned train stations because he is not interested in waiting, but in finding exits toward a horizon marked by the iron rails that, after crossing junctions, remain fixed because they serve the inner movement of people.

Manuel Doblas has changed his way of expressing himself and he has done so for the better. Gifted in plastic expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but moves forward.
