BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Manuel Doblas, born in Humilladero (Málaga) in the year 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 group shows starting in 1981 and had his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again today. He has won many prizes in various places and he has not minded regularly – he still does – participating in rapid-painting contests all over 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 recurring approaches, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to say what he truly desires with conviction.

Only those who are afraid to explain 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, of whom we now see what he has just done, seeks high spaces by capturing the verticality of skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because he is not interested in waiting, but in seeking avenues toward a horizon marked by the iron rails which, 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 with plastic expressiveness and mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
