ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

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 spent many years as a painter. He followed the path of group shows starting in 1981 and held his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we now find him again. He has won many awards in various places and he has not minded taking part regularly—he still does—in quick-painting competitions across the Spanish state. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to discover personal 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 with ownership what he desires.

Only those who fear explaining believe they will find themselves very soon. And those who always think—this is the case of Manuel Doblas—never stop feeling the restlessness to go forward. Therefore this painter, of whom we now see what he has just done, seeks high spaces when capturing the verticality of the skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because he is not interested in waiting, but in finding exits toward a horizon outlined by the iron tracks that, after the crossings are passed, 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 for plastic expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but moves forward.
