BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Manuel Doblas -ROYO- born in Humilladero (Málaga) in the year 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 starting in 1981 and held his first individual exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we now find him again. He has won many prizes in various places and he has not minded participating regularly – he still does – in quick-painting contests throughout Spain. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find formulas of his own that define his style, too often leads to recurring arbitrary manners, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to say with authority what he desires.

Only those who fear explaining believe they will soon find themselves. 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 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 railway tracks which, once the crossings are passed, are fixed because they serve the inner movement of people.

Manuel Doblas has changed his way of expressing himself and he has done it for the better. Gifted in plastic expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
