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 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 participating regularly—he still does—in rapid-painting contests throughout Spain. This, which for others might seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find his own formulas that define his style, often leads to resorting to recurring methods, in his case has represented a highly useful system for meeting himself and being able to state with authority what he desires.

Only those who fear explaining things believe they find themselves very soon. And those who are always thinking—this is the case with 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 the skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because he is not interested in waiting, but rather in finding exits toward a horizon that the railway lines mark, which, after crossing junctions, 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 proficient in technique, he does not stop, but advances.
