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 has not minded regularly—he still does—participating in quick-painting contests all over Spain. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping him gain ease and find his own formulas that define his style, often leads to arbritrary 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 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. Therefore 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 rail lines that, once 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 for plastic expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
