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 shows from 1981 and carried out his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again today. He has won many prizes in diverse places and it has not prevented him from regularly – he still does – participating in speed-painting contests throughout the Spanish state. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find his own formulas that define his style, often leads to resorting to recurrent methods, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to say with clarity what he desires.

Only those who are afraid to explain think they will find themselves very soon. 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 skyscrapers and describes deserted train stations because he is not interested in waiting, but rather in seeking exits toward a horizon marked by the iron rails, which, once the crossings are passed, 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 mastery of the technique, he does not stop, but forges ahead.
