„Art is not a reproduction of what is visible. It makes visible what is not always apparent.“ This phrase by Paul Klee encapsulates part of his poetry, and is translated to the technique of graffiti that the artist employs in the painting „Fish Magic“ of 1925.

The surface of the painting is dark, an unformed background, as it was before the explosion and creation of life which was the big bang: in the beginning was darkness. This darkness is the stuff from the unconscious. It is hidden behind the facade of things and even of ourselves, difficult to detect and understand, which seems to be a true mystery. Understanding our unconscious, as well as the mysteries of life is a difficult, but not impossible job an arduous task many of us are not ready to face. Mirror or mirror on the wall What are the parts of my entire?

The light of the moon shines in the darkness Klee's magic fish do not claim to be truth but only light that illuminates darkness. They are inhabitants of the dark, creatures of the unconscious. The artist is able to scratch into the surface of unconscious and the canvas, underneath which are hidden, but vibrant characters, plants, colours, shapes and visions. The purpose of this procedure is vital and salvific, showing how, in the abyss of the sea and dark insanity, there are tiny sparkling creatures that stir the water and follow the currents. Fish are stories, desires and stories, flashes of ideas and ideals, nocturnal dreams emerging from the darkness. They are games that wallow in the chaos of the world, they are colourful fantasy, childlike, and impulsive that subconsciously or consciously steer people's hopes and actions.

Rare and valuable fish Are these fishes real or not? To these exotic and esoteric life forms?

The fundamental reason for these signs is that fish don't believe in their existence; their existence is not

is determined by the external approval. We believe that we see and have control over every aspect of our lives, and that we have the complete image of everything however, deep in the ocean, in the unconscious , and the past decades of our lives, are in the midst of the complexities and random events of which we are unaware: unseen fish as well as rare and precious creatures. You believe you know all that you are, but forget that there is, in the most hidden and inseparable portion of you, a snail fish that is wags its tail and, even though it is hidden to a space that is unaccessible by the mind, it releases visceral thoughts and jelly. Then, you forget the distant vision that remained in as a child and encased in a bubble, which was nothing but the aquarium of the fish. And the dream lies there, a viper of a fish that turns and turns in the sphere. It now it reveals its teeth. However, you can see the gleams of its formless reflections since you've pulled down the shutter and darkness has filled the room.

Afquainting the senses In the quiet and dark, however, it is easier to see light, perceive movement, hear rustling noises It's just a matter of having to adapt your senses to being in darkness. It takes time and it can be frustrating at first because you have the impression that you're blind. However, once you become familiar with it, you will be able to overcome the darkness and even feed off it. Bubbles glisten, scales sparkle through the air, and nothing is crystal clear, but the whole seems to be complete, a precise picture that you could scratch a little more, still so long as you're alive and decide we want to get to know ourselves a bit more.

Watching them swim What to do with the fish? Should we fish them and bring them up to the surface or keep them hidden in the seabed? It is surely crucial to preserve their wildness and strangeness, not to force them into aquariums with sunlit lights by the sun or serve them as the principal meal during lunchtime logic. Precisely in their nature bizarre, ugly and irrational nature lies their power and the key we can use to understand our own nature. Fish must be observed by allowing ourselves to be seduced by their frequent and endless swimming. This is a meditation, a continuous repetition that allows one to find out more about them at every second. We must be attentive to the flashes of light that flash in front of us and quickly disappear since they are light sources that flash intermittently that briefly illuminate our darkest parts. They allow us to peek into the dark corners of our existence.

Ocean Currents The fish aren't immobile and move from me to you and hicks-ogden.mdwrite.net vice versa; they have even found a collective flow that passes everyone through and connects common opinions and ideas. Fish know who you are, but they don't judge you and therefore do not want borders to limit them. Darkness is their home however they are not afraid of sometimes being caught and seeing their soul shine through like a flash of lightning, similar to an eureka, like a ray of energy that travels up the spine and explodes into the brain, like the electric current that swims across the wires of light. Fish are just like that, swimming, bobbing, dancing in their flow, the immense ocean is their home and they are not afraid of the absence of walls and borders. On the contrary, it is in the sphericity the globe that they will enjoy the feeling of being able to be present today, not in the future, of being able to travel forever, conscious of the fact that in all times, they'll find their way back since in the waters of the unconscious the voyage is circular.
