Finding Fish Magic

"Art is not a reproduction of what is visible, it creates visible what is not always evident."
The phrase of Paul Klee encapsulates part of his poetry and is translated visually into the graffiti technique the artist uses in the painting "Fish Magic" of 1925.

The painting's surface is dark, a formless backdrop; like before the explosion and creation of life which was the Big Bang: In the beginning was darkness. This darkness is the result of the unconscious, hidden under the facade of things and of us which is hard to see and understand, which seems to be a true mystery. Being aware of our unconscious, just like the mysteries of our existence is a difficult, but not impossible feat, a heroic challenge that isn't everyone prepared to undertake. Mirror in the wall, what are the pieces of my entire?

The light of the moon shines in the darkness
Klee's magical fish don't claim to be truth but only light that illuminates the darkness. They are inhabitants of the dark, creatures of the unconscious. The artist works on his or her way across the subconscious and the canvas, underneath which there are hidden and vivid figures, plants, colours, shapes and visions. The purpose of this procedure is vital and salvific by revealing how, within the depths of the sea and dark insanity, there are tiny shimmering animals which stir the waters to follow along with the flow of currents. Fish are stories, desires and tales flashes of ideas, dreams that emerge from the dark night. They are games that slumber in the midst of life and are vivid, childlike fantasies, impulses that consciously or unconsciously guide people's hopes and actions.

Rare and valuable 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 everything, that we have the complete picture of things but in the depths of the ocean, in the unconscious and the past decades of our lives, are the essences and the random events of which we are in the dark: fish that are not seen that are rare and valuable animals. You believe you know everything about who you are but you forget that there exists, within the most secret and inseparable parts within you, an snail fish that wags its tail and, even though it is kept to a space that is unaccessible by the intellect it lets out visceral thoughts and jelly. Then, you forget the distant vision that remained in the child's innocence and was locked away in a bubble, which was nothing but a aquarium of the fish and it is there, a viper of a fish that turns and spins in the sphere, and then it reveals its teeth. You see only its glistening, unformed form because you have pulled away the shutter, and the you are in a dark space.

Accustoming the senses
When everything is dark and silent However, it's easier to see light, perceive movement, hear rustling noises You just need to get your senses used to being in darkness. It can take a while, and it can be frustrating at first because you have the impression of being blind, but once you become used to it, you will be able to be able to see through the darkness and even feed on the darkness. Scales shimmer, bubbles bubble through the air, and nothing is crystal clear, but the whole seems complete: an accurate picture that can be scratched just a bit more as long as we are alive and decide we want to understand ourselves a bit more.

Watching them to swim
What do we do with these fish? Do we need to fish them and bring them to the surface or keep them to lie in the ocean floor? Surely it is crucial to preserve their wildness and savagery rather than forcing them into sunlit aquariums under the sun, or serve them as the principal course in the lunch of logic. Precisely in  paul klee fish magic , ugly and abnormal nature lies their power and the way we can utilize them to discover our true the essence of our. The fish must be watched by allowing ourselves to be hypnotised by their regular and constant swimming. It's A meditation, a continuous repetition that allows you to discover something more about them every second. It is important to be aware of the flashes that flicker in front of us and disappear quickly since they are light sources that flash intermittently that briefly illuminate our darkest parts. They are a means to see into the dark corners of our being.

Currents in the ocean
The fish are not immobile and can swim from you to me and vice versa. They have discovered a collective current, which roughly passes everyone through and connects our common opinions and ideas. Fish know who you are, but they don't consider you a threat and do not want boundaries to delimit them. They are at home in darkness, although they don't mind occasionally being fished out and seeing their soul shine through like a flash of lightning, like a eureka like a ray energy that flows up the spine before exploding into the brain, similar to the electric current that runs through the light cables. The fish are similar to that, swimming, bobbing, dancing in their flow The ocean is their sanctuary and they don't fear the absence of walls and borders. It can be in the vastness of the globe that they best enjoy the feeling of being able to be there now and not later and 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 path is circular.
