"Art does not reproduce what is visible, it creates visible what is not always evident."
The phrase of 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 canvas is dark and a formless background; as prior to the birth 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 beneath the appearance of things, and even of ourselves which is hard to see and comprehend, which appears to be a mystery. Being aware of our unconscious, just like the secrets of existence is a challenging, but not impossible task and a gruelling task that many of us are not willing to take on.

The light of the moon shines in the darkness
Klee's magic fish do not claim to be real, they are only light that illuminates the darkness. They live in the dark, creatures of the unconscious. The artist works on the surface of the unconscious as well as the canvas beneath are hidden, but vibrant figures, plants, colours and shapes. The purpose of this process is vital and healing by revealing how, within the depths of the sea and the darkness of insanity, there are tiny shimmering animals which stir the waters as they follow currents. Fish are dreams, stories and stories, flashes of ideas and ideals, nocturnal dreams emerging from the dark night. They are games that slumber in the density of existence, they are colourful childhood fantasies, impulsive thoughts that subconsciously or consciously steer people's dreams and actions.
Rare and precious 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 want to be believed. Their existence isn't
is influenced by external acceptance. We think that we can see and control every aspect of our lives, and that we have the complete picture of things, but deep within the sea, the unconscious and the past centuries of life, lie the essences and the connections of which we are in the dark: fish that are not seen that are rare and valuable animals. OAI believe you know everything about who you are, but you don't realize that there is, in the most obscure and inseparable portion of you, a fish that wags its tail and, despite the fact that it is relegated down in a place unreachable by the brain the fish releases the sensation of jelly and thoughts that are visceral. Then, you forget the distant vision that remained in as a child and encased within a bubble. It was nothing more than a dish of fish. And it is there, a fish viper that turns and spins in the sphere and now and then shows its teeth. However, you can see the gleams of its formless reflections because you've slid away the shutter, and the darkness has filled the space.
Afquainting the senses
Just when everything is quiet and dark but it's easier to perceive light, see movements, hear the sound of rustling; you just have to get your senses used to darkness. It takes time and can be a bit annoying at first because you have the impression that you're blind; but when you get used to it, you can really be able to see through the darkness and even feed off the darkness. Bubbles glisten, scales sparkle transparently, nothing is really clear, but everything actually appears to be a complete image that you can scratch just a bit more as long as we are alive and want to understand ourselves a bit more.
Watching them as they swim
What to do with these fish? Do we need to fish them and bring them up to the surface, or let them remain to lie in the ocean floor? Isn't it important to preserve their wildness and uniqueness, not to force them into sunlit aquariums by the sun, or use them as the primary course in the lunch of logic. Because in fish magic , absurd, ugly, and bizarre nature lies their power , and the ability to understand our own the essence of our. Fish must be observed and let ourselves be seduced by their frequent and endless swimming. This is A meditation, a continuous repetition that lets one discover something more about them every moment. It is important to be aware of the flashes that flicker across the screen and then fade away because they are intermittent lights which briefly light up our darkest parts. They can be used to peek deep into the darkness of our existence.
Currents in the ocean
The fish aren't stationary and move from me to you and vice versa; they have discovered a common stream that roughly runs us all through and connects us all with common beliefs and thoughts. The fish know you however they do not judge you and therefore do not need boundaries to delimit them. Darkness is their home but they're not afraid of sometimes being snagged and seeing their soul shine through like a flash of lightning, similar to an eureka or ray of energy that travels along the spine and explodes in the brain. It's like the electric flow of the current that swims across the wires of light. The fish are like that, swimming, bobbing with their rhythm, the immense ocean is their sanctuary and they are not afraid of the absence of walls and limits. It happens in the space of the world that they can experience the joy of being able to be there today and not tomorrow as well as the freedom to travel forever, conscious of the fact that in all times, they'll be able to return since in the oceans of the unconscious, the journey is circular.
