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 held his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again. He has won many awards in various places and he has not minded participating regularly — he still does — in rapid-painting contests across Spain. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find personal formulas that define the style, often leads to recurring approaches, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to express with conviction what he desires.

Only those who are afraid to explain themselves think they find themselves very quickly. And those who are always thinking — this is the case of Manuel Doblas — never stop feeling the restlessness to move forward. For this reason, 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 rather looks for exits toward a horizon marked by the iron rails that, past 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 in plastic expression and with command of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
