„Art doesn't reproduce what is visible. It creates visible what is not always apparent.“ The phrase of Paul Klee encapsulates part of his poetics and translates aesthetically into the graffiti technique that the artist employs in the painting „Fish Magic“ from 1925.

The painting's surface is dark, a formless background, as it was prior to the birth and explosion of life, which was the Big Bang. in the beginning was darkness. The darkness is the product of the unconscious, hidden under the facade of things and even us that is difficult to discern and comprehend, and appears to be a real mystery. Understanding our unconscious, as well as the secrets of existence is a difficult, but not impossible task, a heroic challenge that isn't everyone prepared to undertake.

Shining in the dark Klee's magical fish don't claim to be truth but only light that illuminates the darkness. They reside in the dark, and are creatures of the subconscious. The artist is able to scratch the surface of the unconscious and the canvas, underneath which there are hidden and vivid figures, plants, colours forms and images. The meaning of this technical procedure is vital and salvific, showing that, deep in the depths of the sea and dark darkness, there are tiny shimmering creatures that stir the waters to follow along with the flow of currents. Fish are desires, stories and stories flashes of ideas and dreams that emerge from the dark night. They are games that slumber in the midst of life and are vivid childhood fantasies, impulsive thoughts that subconsciously or consciously steer people's dreams and actions.

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

The essence of these signs is that fish do not believe in their existence; Their existence isn't

is influenced by external acceptance. We believe that we see and manage every aspect of our lives, and that we have the full image of everything but in the depths of the sea, the unconscious , and the past years of existence, there are the essences and the coincidences that we are unaware: unseen fish as well as rare and precious creatures. You believe that you are aware of everything about who you are but you forget that there exists, in the most obscure and inseparable part within you, an snail fish that is wags its tail and, despite the fact that it is kept in a place unreachable by the mind it lets out visceral thoughts and jelly. It is then easy to forget that distant dream, remained as a child and encased in a bubble, which was nothing but a aquarium of the fish and the dream lies there, a viper of a fish which turns and turns within the sphere, and then and then shows its teeth; you perceive only its glistening, unformed form since you've pulled away the shutter, and the darkness has filled the space.

The ability to adjust the senses In the dark and silent, however, it is easier to see light, perceive movement, hear rustling noises You just need to adapt your senses to being in darkness. It takes time and it can be frustrating initially because you get the impression that you are blind, but once you become familiar with it, you will be able to overcome the darkness and even take advantage of it. Scales shimmer, bubbles bubble through the air, and nothing is transparent, mooc.elte.hu but it all appears to be a complete picture that you could scratch slightly more in the event that we're alive and choose to understand ourselves a bit more.

Watching them as they swim What do we do with these fish? Do we need to fish them and bring them up to the surface or keep them at sea? Surely it is essential to protect their wildness and strangeness, not to force them into aquariums with sunlit lights by the sun, or use them as the primary course in the lunch of logic. In their bizarre, ugly and irrational nature lies their power , and the way we can utilize them to understand our own essence. The fish should be watched and let ourselves be drawn into their routine and constant swimming. It's a meditation, a continuous repetition that lets one discover something more about them in every moment. We have to observe the flashes of light that flash across the screen and disappear quickly as they are a series of lights which briefly light up our darkest parts. They allow us to peek into the darkest corners of being.

Ocean Currents The fish aren't immobile and swim between me and you and vice versa. They have even found a collective stream that roughly runs everyone through and connects our common ideas and beliefs. Fish know who you are, however they do not judge you and therefore do not want borders to limit them. Darkness is their home however they are not afraid of occasionally being fished out and seeing their soul shine through like a bolt of lightning, similar to an eureka or ray of energy that flows up the spine before exploding into the brain, like the electric current that swims through the light cables. The fish are like that, swimming, bobbing and bouncing in their flow The ocean is their sanctuary and they're not scared of the absence of walls and boundaries. On the contrary, it is in the sphericity the globe that they best enjoy the feeling of being able to be there today and not tomorrow as well as the freedom to travel forever, conscious it is always possible to be able to return since in the oceans of the unconscious the journey is circular.
