BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Manuel Doblas -ROYO- born in Humilladero (Málaga) in the year 1957, but trained from a very young age in Catalonia and with a mindset well rooted among us, he has been painting for many years. He followed the path of collective exhibitions from 1981 and held his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we now find him again. He has won many awards in various places and it has not mattered to him to regularly participate—he still does—in quick-painting competitions all over the Spanish State. 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 arbitrariness, in his case it has represented a highly useful system to find himself and to be able 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 the skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because he is not interested in waiting, but in seeking exits toward a horizon that is marked by the iron tracks which, 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 in plastic expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
