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 lived for many years as a painter. He followed the path of group shows from 1981 and held his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again now. He has won many prizes in diverse places and has not minded participating regularly—he still does—in quick-painting contests all over the Spanish State. This, which for others may seem a hindrance, because after helping to gain fluency and to find personal formulas that define the style, many times leads to arbitrariness, in his case has represented a highly useful system for meeting himself and being able to say with conviction what he desires.

Only those who are afraid to explain believe that 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, of whom we now see what he has just done, seeks high spaces by capturing the verticality of skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because nothing interests him but the wait; instead, he seeks exits toward a horizon that the iron rails mark, which, after passing the crossings, 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 for plastic expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
