Manuel Doblas Pinto "Ibañez" (1957) - La Lumière du Midi - NO RESERVE

Signed by the author at the bottom "Ibañez" which is one of his pseudonyms Presented unframed the work The condition is good Dimensions of the work: 46 x 55 cm. 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 been painting for many years. He followed the path of group exhibitions starting in 1981 and held his first personal exhibition 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 hesitated to participate regularly—he still does—in quick-painting competitions throughout the Spanish state. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find formulas that define the style, often leads to recurring methods, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to rightly say what he desires. Only those who fear explaining things believe they find themselves very soon. And those who are always thinking—this is the case with Manuel Doblas—never cease to feel 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 the skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because waiting holds no interest for him; instead he seeks exits toward a horizon marked by railway tracks which, once crossing points 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 in plastic expression and master of technique, he does not stop, but moves forward.
