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 painting for many years. He followed the path of group exhibitions starting in 1981 and made his first individual exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again now. He has won many prizes in various places and he has not minded regularly – he still does – participating in quick-painting contests all over the Spanish state. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain ease and to find own formulas that define the style many times leads to recurring ways, in his case has represented a highly useful system to find himself and to be able to say with propriety what he desires.

Only those who are afraid to explain believe that they find themselves very soon. 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, searches high spaces by capturing the verticality of skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because he is not interested in waiting, but seeks exits toward a horizon marked by the rails that, after crossing intersections, are fixed because they serve the inner movement of people.

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