Gladiolus in Bloom-Summer Bloom series
Summer Bloom series began in 2022, where Shizico Yi celebrating the season by painting en plein air in her garden. Shizico lost her beloved dog, Favor, after a four-year battle with the neurological disease in 2017. Shizico began gardening as a way to create a healing space for Favor. After his passing in 2017, the garden evolved into Favor Memorial Garden, dedicated to his precious presence. This gardening project honour his memory, called Constant Gardener which started in 2015, continues to this day.
Alongside gardening, Shizico began creating a series of drawings and plein air paintings in this garden, capturing the blooms and seasons to preserve them in time. Like a modern-day Monet, Shizico Yi is reaping the rewards of her labour as it inspires her while serving as a living studio, where her art grows alongside nature and where she makes her own kind of landscapes.

In this series, her focuses on a new approach which she paints the negative spaces rather than the positive forms.
Each stroke is the process of carve out the spaces around the outline of the objects whether is a tree, a flower or a leave.
Also, colour becomes the primary device for expressing emotion, rather than reflecting the literal hues of the landscape. By using colour this way, Shizico heightens her sensitivity to mood and the vision within her mind's eye, moving beyond the habitual matching of colours to reality. These self imposed directions give her landscapes a touch of magical aura in this series of Summer Bloom landscapes.
This major shift allows her to explore the interplay of light and shadow in a new unique way, emphasizing the negative and positive spaces between the flowers and the landscape/skylines around them.
This series of paintings stand as a testament to her imagination, bold and always evolving techniques and the profound inspiration she draws from her natural surroundings especially her own gardens where she grows plants and re-makes her very own landscape.
