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 group exhibitions starting in 1981 and held his first solo show in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again today. He has won many prizes in various places and has not minded regularly participating—he still does—in speed-painting competitions across Spain. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain ease and to find personal formulas that define the style, often leads to resorting to recurring methods, in his case has represented a highly useful system for discovering himself and being able to say with conviction what he desires.

Only those who are afraid to explain themselves believe they will 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. Therefore this painter, of whom we can now see what he has just done, seeks high spaces by capturing the verticality of skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because waiting interests him nothing; he seeks exits toward a horizon marked by the railroad tracks which, after crossings are overcome, stay fixed because they serve the inner movement of people.

Manuel Doblas has changed his manner of expression and he has done so for the better. Gifted in plastic expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
