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

The painting's surface is dark, a formless background; as before the creation and explosion of life which was the Big Bang: in the beginning was darkness. The darkness is the product from the unconscious. It is hidden under the facade of things and even us which is hard to see and comprehend, which appears to be a mystery. Being aware of our unconscious, just like the mysteries of our existence, is an arduous if not impossible job and a gruelling task that isn't everyone willing to take on. Mirror in the wall What are the elements of my whole?

The light of the moon shines in the darkness Klee's magical fish don't claim to be real, they are only light that illuminates the darkness. They are inhabitants of the dark, creatures of the unconscious. The artist scratches into the surface of unconscious as well as the canvas, underneath which lie hidden but vivid figures, plants, colours, shapes and visions. The significance of this procedure is vital and salvific by revealing how, in the abyss of the ocean and in the dark darkness, there are tiny shimmering creatures that stir the water to follow along with the flow of currents. Fish are dreams, stories and tales, flashes of ideas and visions, dreams that come out of the night. from the dark night. They are games that wallow in the density of existence and are vivid fantasy, childlike, and impulsive that consciously or unconsciously guide people's dreams and actions.

Rare and precious fish Are these fishes true or not? To these exotic and esoteric life forms?

The fundamental reason for these signs is that fish do not want to be believed. Their existence isn't

is determined by external acceptance. We think that we can see and have control over everything, raysummer03.bloggersdelight.dk that we have the complete view of the world but in the depths of the sea, the unconscious , and the past centuries of life, lie essences and coincidences of which we are in the dark: fish that are not seen as well as rare and precious creatures. You believe that you are aware of every inch of who you are, but you don't realize that there exists, in the most hidden and inseparable parts inside you, a snail fish that is wags its tail and that, although it is hidden into a place that is not accessible to the brain, it releases visceral thoughts and jelly. Then, you forget that distant dream, remained the child's innocence and was locked away in a bubble, which was nothing more than a dish of fish and the dream lies there, a viper of a fish that turns and spins in the sphere, and then it reveals its teeth; you perceive only its glistening, unformed form because you have pulled down the shutter and you are in a dark room.

Accustoming to the senses When everything is dark and silent, however, it is easier to see light, perceive motion, and hear rustling sounds It's just a matter of having to adapt your senses to darkness. It takes a while and can be a bit annoying initially, as you are left with the impression that you are blind, but once you are used to it, you'll be able to get through the darkness, you can even feed off the darkness. The scales shimmer, bubbles pop through the air, and nothing is crystal clear, but the whole seems to be complete, a precise picture that you could scratch just a bit more so long as you're alive and choose to get to know ourselves a bit more.

Watching them to swim What do we do with the fish? Do we need to fish them and bring them to the surface, or let them remain at sea? Isn't it important to preserve their wildness and uniqueness and not force them into aquariums with sunlit lights by the sun, or serve them as the principal course in the lunch of logic. Because in their very nature, bizarre, ugly and irrational nature lies their strength and the way we can utilize them to discover our true essence. Fish must be observed by allowing ourselves to be hypnotised by their regular and constant swimming. It's an act of meditation, a constant repetition that allows you to find out more about them at every second. We must be attentive to the flashes of light that flash across the screen and quickly disappear as they are a series of lights which briefly light up the dark parts of us. They can be used to see deep into the darkness of being.

Ocean Currents The fish aren't stationary and can swim from me to you and vice versa. They have discovered a common current, which roughly passes all of us and connects our common ideas and beliefs. The fish know you however they do not judge you and therefore do not want limits to define 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, like a eureka like a ray energy that travels up the spine and explodes in the brain, similar to the electric current that swims along the cables of light. Fish are just like the fish that swim, bobbing, dancing in their flow The ocean is their sanctuary and they are not afraid of the lack of walls or boundaries. On the contrary, it happens in the space the world that they can feel the freedom of being there today and not tomorrow and being able to travel forever, conscious that they will always find their way back because in the waters of the unconscious the journey is circular.
