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 deeply rooted among us, has been a painter for many years. He followed the path of group shows starting in 1981 and held his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again today. He has won many awards in various places and has not minded regularly – he still does – participate in quick-sketch painting contests all over Spain. This, which for others might seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain ease and to find personal formulas that define his style, often leads to recurring approaches, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to say with conviction what he desires.

Only those who fear explaining things believe they will find themselves very soon. And those who are always thinking – this is the case of Manuel Doblas – never stop feeling the restless urge to move forward. That is why this painter, of whom we just see what he has just done, seeks high spaces when capturing the verticality of skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations, because he is not interested in waiting, but in finding exits toward a horizon that is marked by the rail tracks which, once crossings are overcome, 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 master of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
