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 been a painter for many years. He followed the path of group exhibitions from 1981 and held his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again now. He has won many awards in diverse places and he has not minded regularly – he still does – participate in rapid-painting contests all over the Spanish State. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find own formulas that define the style, often leads to arbitrariness, in his case has represented a highly useful system to meet himself and to say with propriety what he desires.

Only those who fear explaining believe that they will soon 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, 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 interested in waiting, but in seeking exits toward a horizon that the iron rails mark which, after crossing the crossings, 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 advances.
