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 spent many years as a painter. He followed the path of exhibitions as part of collectives from 1981 and carried out his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again now. He has won many prizes in diverse places and he has not minded participating regularly—he still does—in rapid-painting competitions all over the Spanish State. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping him gain ease and to find his own formulas that define his style, often leads to recurring ways of arbitrating, in his case has represented a highly useful system for meeting himself and being able to say with conviction what he desires.

Only those who fear explaining believe they will very quickly 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, from 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 exits toward a horizon marked by the rails that, after crossing the junctions, 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.
