BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Manuel Doblas Pinto -González- born in Humilladero (Málaga) in 1957, but trained from a very young age in Catalonia and with a mindset well rooted among us, he has been a painter for many years. He followed the path of group exhibitions from 1981 and held his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we now find him again. He has won many awards in various places and has not minded regularly – he still does – participating in rapid-painting competitions 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 the style, often leads to recurring arbitrary ways, in his case has represented a highly useful system to find himself and to be able to say with authority 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. Therefore this painter, of 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 waiting does not interest him at all, but seeks exits toward a horizon marked by the iron rails that, after crossing the intersections, 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 moves forward.
