Silhouette Art is a minimalist style of creating visual images using only the outline of a subject filled with solid color or a solid black shape contrasting with a light-colored background. This style first emerged in the 18th century and became particularly popular during the Victorian era. It gained fame for its ability to simplify complex forms and convey emotions through strong contrasts and dramatic shapes.
