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 exhibitions from 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 various places and he has not minded participating regularly—he still does—in quick-painting competitions across Spain. This, which for others may be an obstacle, because after helping to gain ease and to find his own 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 are afraid to explain believe that 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, about whom we are now seeing 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 at all; instead he looks for exits toward a horizon marked by the iron rails, which, once crossings are overcome, stay 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 with artistic expression and mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
