Artwork Description

Poiesis (Dandelion) captures a moment of stillness suspended between presence and disappearance. A hand gently holds a fragile dandelion seedhead—so delicate it could dissolve with a breath. Painted with meticulous care, the image transforms a fleeting gesture into something enduring, almost sacred. The painting belongs to Grones’ Poiesis series, inspired by the Greek word for “bringing- forth,” or the act of revealing something into presence. In philosophy, particularly in Martin Heidegger’s reading of Hölderlin, poiesis becomes a way of being in the world— one in which we encounter reality not through domination, but through attention and wonder. In this context, the hand and the dandelion are not merely subjects; they are a site of relation, an opening into the subtle thresholds between nature, human experience, and time. The composition is spare: fingers holding something light, ephemeral. The seeds may fly off at any moment. And yet, this brief instant is rendered in permanent, painstaking detail —a paradox at the heart of Grones’ visual language. He approaches painting as both a physical and philosophical act, one that mirrors the tension between presence and impermanence
