„Art is not a reproduction of what is visible, it makes visible what is not always apparent.“ This line from Paul Klee encapsulates part of his poetics and translates aesthetically in the style of graffiti the artist uses in the painting 'Fish Magic' of 1925.

The surface of the painting is dark, an unformed background, as it was before the creation and explosion of life that was the Big Bang: in the beginning was darkness. This darkness is the result of the unconscious, hidden behind the surface of things and of us, difficult to detect and understand, which seems to be a mystery. Being aware of our unconscious, just like the mysteries of life, is an arduous if not impossible job an arduous task isn't everyone prepared to undertake. Mirror in the wall, what are the pieces of my life?

Shining in the dark Klee's magical fish don't claim to be real, they are only light that illuminates the darkness. They reside in the dark, creatures of the unconscious. The artist is able to scratch into the surface of unconscious and the canvas, beneath which are hidden, but vibrant images, characters, colours, plants and shapes. The significance of this procedure is vital and salvific and demonstrates how, in the abyss of the ocean and in the dark insanity, there are tiny sparkling creatures which stir the waters and follow the currents. Fish are dreams, stories and stories flashes of ideas and ideals, nocturnal dreams emerging from the darkness. These are games that drown in the density of existence, they are colourful childhood fantasies, impulsive thoughts that subconsciously or consciously steer people's hopes and actions.

Rare and precious fish Are these fishes to be believed or not? To these exotic and esoteric life forms?

The fundamental reason for these signs is that fish don't care to be believed; their existence is not

is influenced by external acceptance. We believe that we see and have control over every aspect of our lives, and that we have the complete picture of things, but deep within the sea, the subconscious and the previous centuries of life, lie essences and random events of which we are in the dark: fish that are not seen as well as rare and precious creatures. You think you know every inch of who you are, but you don't realize that there exists, meatstone53.edublogs.org within the most secret and inseparable parts inside you, a snail fish that wags its tail and that, although it is kept in a place unreachable by the mind the fish releases visceral thoughts and jelly. Then, you forget the distant vision that remained in as a child and encased in a bubblethat was nothing more than a bowl of a fish and the vision is in there, a viper of a fish that turns and spins in the sphere. It now it reveals its teeth; you perceive the gleams of its formless reflections because you have pulled away the shutter, and the it is dark in the room.

Afquainting to the senses Just when everything is quiet and dark However, it's easier to detect light, sense movements, hear the sound of rustling You just need 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 comfortable with it, you can really get through the darkness and even feed on it. Bubbles glisten, scales sparkle transparently, nothing is really clear, but everything actually seems complete: an accurate picture that can be scratched a little more, still in the event that we're alive and want to know ourselves a little more.

Watching them to swim What to do with these fish? Should we take them to the fishery and bring them to the surface or keep them hidden in the seabed? Isn't it crucial to preserve their wildness and uniqueness rather than forcing them into sunlit aquariums by the sun, or serve them as the principal course in the lunch of logic. In their bizarre, ugly and irrational nature lies their power and the ability to discover our true nature. Fish must be observed, allowing ourselves to be hypnotised by their regular and incessant swimming: a meditation, a continuous repetition that lets one find out more about them every second. We have to observe the flashes that flash before us and quickly disappear because they are intermittent lights that briefly illuminate the dark parts of us. They can be used to see into the dark corners of our being.

Currents in the ocean The fish are not immobile and can swim from me to you and vice versa. They have discovered a collective current, which roughly passes us all through and connects us all with common ideas and beliefs. Fish know who you are, but do not judge you and therefore do not want limits to define them. The dark is their home, although they don't mind occasionally being fished out and having their energy shine through like a bolt of lightning, like a eureka, like a ray of energy that travels up the spine and explodes into the brain, similar to the electric current that swims through the light cables. The fish are similar to that, bobbing, swimming and bouncing in their flow The ocean is their home , and they're not scared of the lack of walls or borders. It is in the sphericity of the globe that they best experience the joy of being able to be there now and not later as well as the freedom to roam forever, knowing it is always possible to return because in the oceans of the unconscious the path is circular.
