BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Manuel Doblas -ROYO- born in Humilladero (Málaga) in 1957, but trained from a very young age in Catalonia and with a mindset well rooted among us, he has been a painter for many years. He followed the path of group exhibitions from 1981 onward and held his first solo show in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again today. He has won many prizes in various places and has not minded regularly—he still does—participating in rapid-painting contests across Spain. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and find personal formulas that define the style, often leads to recurring methods, in his case 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 themselves believe that they will soon find themselves. And those who are always thinking—this is the case with Manuel Doblas—never stop feeling the restlessness to move forward. Therefore 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 marked by the iron rails which, once crossings are behind them, 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 visual expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
