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 starting in 1981 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 diverse places and has not minded regularly – he still does – participate 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 say with propriety what he desires.

Only those who are afraid to explain believe they find themselves very soon. And those who are always thinking – this is the case of Manuel Doblas – never stop feeling the urge 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 waiting does not interest him, but he seeks exits toward a horizon marked by the iron rails which, after crossings are overcome, 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.
