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 starting in 1981 and held his first solo show in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we now find him again. He has won many awards in different places and he has not minded participating regularly – he still does – in rapid-painting contests throughout the Spanish state. This, which for others may seem an obstacle, because after helping him gain fluency and find formulas that define his own style, often leads to recurrent methods, 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 of explaining things believe that they find themselves very soon. And those who are always thinking – this is the case of Manuel Doblas – never stop feeling the restlessness of moving forward. That is why 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 iron rails which, once the crossings are passed, are 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 stand still, but moves forward.
