Flower silhouette art is a diverse category of art that focuses on the shapes of flowers. These floral paintings display a wide variety of blooms and styles within the constraints of the category. Likewise, the dramatic flower images that are characteristic of this category are rendered in several mediums, from canvas art to photography.
Flower photography is a highly popular medium for flower silhouette art. These works are often in black and white, although there are some works that use color to their advantage. However, since the primary focus of flower silhouette art is shape, many photographers choose a higher contrast image, as seen in the flower photograph, 'Rose and Driftwood' by Ansel Adams.
Floral paintings that focus on flower silhouette art are often very focused on the shape of the flower and how it reacts with the rest of the canvas. This focus results in dramatic flower images that produce a powerful visual statement, as well as being aesthetically appealing. Works such as 'Poppy Trio' and 'Closed Lily' are two examples of these unique and dramatic flower images.
Dramatic flower images are popular in homes and businesses around the world. These works often have a hidden complexity to them that astounds and amazes viewers. Due to the focus on aesthetic appeal, these floral paintings are almost universal in their compatibility with other styles and designs. Capable of being displayed nearly anywhere, flower silhouette art is a uniquely complementary art category that interior designers and art enthusiasts love.
