"Art is not a reproduction of what is visible, it makes visible what is not always evident."
This line from Paul Klee encapsulates part of his poetics and translates aesthetically to the technique of graffiti the artist uses in the painting "Fish Magic" of 1925.

The surface of the painting is dark, a formless background, as it was prior to the birth and explosion of life, which was the Big Bang: at the beginning, there was darkness. This darkness is the result of the unconscious, hidden beneath the surface of things and even us, difficult to detect and comprehend, and appears to be a mystery. Knowing our unconscious,  [[https://salmon-iris-cqj8dc.mystrikingly.com/blog/favorite-fish-magic-sources-for-2023|https://salmon-iris-cqj8dc.mystrikingly.com/blog/favorite-fish-magic-sources-for-2023]] like the mysteries of our existence is a challenging, but not impossible task and a gruelling task that not all of us are willing to take on. Mirror, mirror on the wall What are the parts of my whole?

In the darkness, the light shines
Klee's magic fish do not claim to be true, but only light that illuminates darkness. They live in the dark, and are creatures of the unconscious. The artist is able to scratch his or her way across the subconscious as well as the canvas, beneath which lie hidden but vivid characters, plants, colours forms and images. The significance of this operation is salvific and vital and demonstrates how, in the abyss of the ocean and in the dark insanity, there are tiny shimmering animals that stir the water and follow the currents. Fish are stories, desires and stories, flashes of ideas and dreams that emerge from the dark night. They are games that wallow in the chaos of the world, they are colourful fantasy, childlike, and impulsive that consciously or unconsciously guide the actions and hopes of people.

Rare and valuable fish
Are these fishes true or not? In these exotic and esoteric life forms?

The crux of these manifestations is that fish don't care to be believed; Their existence isn't

is influenced by external acceptance. We think that we can see and manage every aspect of our lives, and that we have the full picture of things however, deep in the ocean, in the unconscious and the past years of existence, there are the essences and the connections of which we are completely ignorant: unnoticed fish as well as rare and precious creatures. You think you know all that you are, but forget that in the most hidden and inseparable parts within you, an fish that is wags its tail and that, although it is relegated down into a place that is not accessible to the brain, it releases visceral thoughts and jelly. It is then easy to forget the distant vision that remained in childhood and locked in a bubblethat was nothing but the aquarium of the fish. And it is there, a viper of a fish which turns and turns within the sphere, and then it reveals its teeth. However, you can see only its glistening, unformed form because you've slid away the shutter, and the darkness has filled the space.

The ability to adjust the senses
Just when everything is quiet and dark but it's easier to detect light, sense movements, hear the sound of rustling It's just a matter of having to adjust your perception to darkness. It can take a while, and it is annoying initially, as you are left with the impression of being blind, but once you are used to it, you can really get through the darkness and even take advantage of it. Scales shimmer, bubbles bubble through the air, and nothing is clear, but everything actually appears to be a complete picture that you could scratch slightly more as long as we are alive and choose to know ourselves a little more.

Watching them as they swim
What should we do with the fish? Should we fish them and bring them to the surface or leave them hidden in the seabed? Surely it is crucial to preserve their wildness and savagery, not to force them into sunlit aquariums by the sun, or serve them as the principal meal during lunchtime logic. Precisely in their nature irrational, ugly and abnormal nature lies their power , and the way we can utilize them to clarify our essence. The fish should be watched by allowing ourselves to be hypnotised by their regular and incessant swimming: an act of meditation, a constant repetition that allows you to find out more about them at every turn. It is important to be aware of the flashes that flicker in front of us and disappear quickly as they are a series of lights that briefly illuminate our darkest parts. They are a means to look into the darkest corners of our existence.

Currents in the ocean
The fish are not immobile and swim between me and you and vice versa. They have even found a collective current, which roughly passes everyone through and connects us all with common opinions and ideas. Fish know who you are, however they do not evaluate you, and thus do not need boundaries to delimit them. Darkness is their home, although they don't mind occasionally being fished out and seeing their soul shine out like a flash of lightning, similar to an eureka or ray of energy that travels up the spine and explodes in the brain, similar to the electric current that flows across the wires of light. The fish are like the fish that swim, bobbing, dancing in their flow The ocean is their home , and they're not scared of the absence of walls and boundaries. In fact, it can be in the vastness the world that they can feel the freedom of being there today and not tomorrow and being able to wander eternally, aware of the fact that in all times, they'll find their way back since in the oceans of the unconscious the path is circular.
