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 from 1981 and his first solo exhibition was 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 hesitated to participate regularly – he still does – in rapid-painting competitions throughout the Spanish State. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find his own formulas that define the style, often leads to recurring ways, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to say with propriety what he desires.

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 cease to feel the urge to move forward. Therefore 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 at all interested in waiting, but seeks exits toward a horizon marked by the iron tracks that, beyond the crossings, are 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.
