BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Manuel Doblas, 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 spent many years as a painter. He followed the path of group exhibitions from 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 diverse places and he has not minded participating – he still does – regularly in rapid painting competitions throughout the Spanish State. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find personal formulas that define his style, often leads to arbitrary recurring ways, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and to be able to say with propriety what he desires.

Only those who fear explaining think they will soon find themselves. And those who are always thinking – this is the case of Manuel Doblas – never stop feeling the urge to move forward. That is why this painter, whom we now see 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 in seeking exits toward a horizon that is marked by the railway lines which, after crossing the junctions, 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 technique, he does not stop, but advances.
