Take This Fish Magic Check And You ll See Your Struggles. Literally

"Art is not a reproduction of what is visible, it creates visible what is not always visible."
This phrase by Paul Klee encapsulates part of his poetics and translates aesthetically into the graffiti technique that the artist employs in the painting 'Fish Magic' of 1925.

The painting's surface is dark and a formless backdrop; like before the explosion and creation of life that was the Big Bang: in the beginning was darkness. The darkness is the product from the unconscious. It is hidden under the surface of things and even us that is difficult to discern and understand, which seems to be a true mystery. Being aware of our unconscious, just like the mysteries of life is a difficult, but not impossible feat and a gruelling task that isn't everyone willing to take on. Mirror, mirror on the wall, what are the pieces of my life?

Shining in the dark
Klee's magic fish cannot claim to be true, but they are only light that illuminates darkness. They live in the dark, and are creatures of the subconscious. The artist is able to scratch his or her way across the subconscious and the canvas beneath are hidden, but vibrant characters, plants, colours, shapes and visions. The meaning of this technical process is vital and healing and demonstrates how, in the abyss of the sea and the darkness of ignorance, there are small shimmering creatures which stir the waters to follow along with the flow of currents. Fish are stories, desires and tales, flashes of ideas and ideals, nocturnal dreams emerging from the darkness. They are games that slumber in the midst of life, they are colourful fantasy, childlike, and impulsive that consciously or unconsciously guide people's dreams and actions.

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

The crux of these manifestations is that fish do not believe in their existence; their existence is not

is determined by the external approval. We believe that we see and control every aspect of our lives, and that we have the full view of the world however, deep in the ocean, in the unconscious and the past centuries of life, lie the essences and the connections that we are in the dark: fish that are not seen that are rare and valuable animals. You believe that you are aware of all that you are but you forget that in the most hidden and inseparable portion inside you, a fish that wags its tail and, despite the fact that it is kept in a place unreachable by the mind the fish releases jelly and visceral thoughts. Then, you forget the distant vision that remained in the child's innocence and was locked away in a bubblethat was nothing more than a bowl of a fish. the dream lies there, a fish viper that turns and spins in the sphere, and then it shows its teeth; you perceive the gleams of its formless reflections because you've slid away the shutter, and the it is dark in the room.

Afquainting the senses
When everything is still and quiet However, it's easier to detect light, sense motion, and hear rustling sounds; you just have to adapt your senses to the darkness. It can take a while, telegra.ph and it is annoying initially, as you are left with the impression of being blind; but when you become comfortable with it, you'll be able to be able to see through the darkness, you can even feed off it. The scales shimmer, bubbles pop through the air, and nothing is crystal clear, but the whole appears to be a complete picture that can be scratched 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 do we do with these fish? Should we take them to the fishery and bring them to the surface, or let them remain hidden in the seabed? Surely it is essential to protect their wildness and uniqueness rather than forcing them into sunlit aquariums by the sun, or serve them as the main meal during lunchtime logic. Precisely in their nature irrational, ugly and abnormal nature lies their power and the ability to discover our true nature. Fish must be observed, allowing ourselves to be seduced by their frequent and constant swimming. It's a meditation, a continuous repetition that allows one to discover something more about them every moment. We must be attentive to the flashes that flash in front of us and quickly disappear as they are a series of lights that momentarily illuminate the darkness of our being. They can be used to look into the dark corners of being.

Ocean currents
The fish aren't immobile and move from you to me and vice versa; they have discovered a common flow that 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 want boundaries to delimit them. They are at home in darkness however they are not afraid of occasionally being fished out and having their energy shine out like a flash of lightning, like a eureka like a ray energy that flows up the spine and explodes into the brain. It's like the electric current that swims across the wires of light. Fish are just like that, bobbing, swimming with their rhythm The ocean is their home and they're not scared of the absence of walls and limits. In fact, it happens in the space of the globe that they will feel the freedom of being there now and not later as well as the freedom to roam forever, knowing it is always possible to be able to return as in the oceans of the unconscious the path is circular.
