"Art does not reproduce what is visible, but transforms what isn't always visible."
The phrase of Paul Klee encapsulates part of his poetry, and is translated in the style of graffiti that the artist employs in his painting "Fish Magic" from 1925.
The surface of the painting is dark, a formless background; as prior to the birth and explosion of life that was the big bang: in the beginning was darkness. This darkness is the result that is the subconscious, which lies under the surface of things and of us which is hard to see and comprehend, which appears to be a real mystery. Knowing our unconscious, like the mysteries of our existence is a difficult, but not impossible feat an arduous task isn't everyone ready to face.

Shining in the dark
Klee's magic fish do not claim to be real, they are only light that illuminates darkness. They are inhabitants of the dark, and are creatures of the unconscious. The artist scratches his or her way across the subconscious as well as the canvas, underneath which are hidden, but vibrant images, characters, colours, plants, shapes and visions. The meaning of this technical procedure is vital and salvific and demonstrates how, within the depths of the sea and the darkness of ignorance, there are small shimmering animals that stir the water as they follow currents. Fish are stories, desires and stories flashes of ideas, visions, dreams that come out of the night. from the darkness. They are games that slumber in the density of existence and are vivid, childlike fantasies, impulses that, whether consciously or not, guide the actions and hopes of people.
Rare and valuable fish
Are these fishes to be believed or not? To these exotic and esoteric life forms?

is influenced by external acceptance. We believe that we see and have control over everything, that we have the full picture of things but in the depths of the ocean, in the subconscious and the previous decades of our lives, are the essences and the coincidences that we are ignorant: unnoticed fish as well as rare and precious creatures. You believe you know all that you are but you forget that there is, in the most hidden and inseparable portion inside you, a snail fish that is wags its tail and that, although it is hidden to a space that is unaccessible by the brain it lets out visceral thoughts and jelly. You forget, then, that distant dream, remained the child's innocence and was locked away in a bubblethat was nothing but a aquarium of the fish and the vision is in there, a fish viper that turns and turns in the sphere, and then it shows its teeth; you perceive only its glistening, unformed form because you've slid down the shutter and it is dark in the space.
Afquainting the senses
When everything is dark and silent However, it's easier to perceive light, see movements, hear the sound of rustling It's just a matter of having to adjust your perception to being in darkness. It takes time and it can be frustrating initially, as you are left with the impression that you are blind, but once you get comfortable with it, you can really get through the darkness and even take advantage of it. Scales shimmer, bubbles bubble through the air, and nothing is transparent, but it all seems to be complete, a precise picture that can be scratched just a bit more as long as we are alive and want to get to know ourselves a bit more.
Watching them to swim
What to do with the fish? Should we take them to the fishery and bring them to the surface, or let them remain to lie in the ocean floor? Surely it is crucial to preserve their wildness and strangeness, not to force them into sunlit aquariums under the sun, or serve them as the main meal during lunchtime logic. In their absurd, ugly, and bizarre nature lies their strength and the key we can use to discover our true essence. Fish must be observed, allowing ourselves to be hypnotised by their regular and endless swimming. This is an act of meditation, a constant repetition that allows you to discover something more about them in every second. We must be attentive to the flashes that flicker before us and disappear quickly since they are light sources that flash intermittently that momentarily illuminate the darkness of our being. They allow us to peek deep into the darkness of our being.
Ocean currents

The fish aren't immobile and move from you to me and vice versa. They have discovered a common stream that roughly runs us all through and connects our common opinions and ideas. Fish know who you are, but they don't evaluate you, and thus do not need borders to limit them. Darkness is their home but they're not afraid of sometimes being snagged and having their essence shine through like a flash of lightning, or eureka like a ray energy that travels up the spine and explodes in the brain. It's like the electric current that flows through the light cables. The fish are like the fish that swim, bobbing, dancing in their flow The vast ocean is their sanctuary and they are not afraid of the absence of walls and limits. It can be in the vastness the globe that they best experience the joy of being there now and not later as well as the freedom to roam forever, knowing that they will always find their way back as in the oceans of the unconscious the journey is circular.
