Silhouette Portraits by Yellow Yemisi

Nigerian and Barbadian artist, Yemisi Williams, a.k.a. Yellow Yemisi, brings her signature bold portraiture style to these minimalist silhouette portraits of women. The digital artist uses strong, contrasting background colors that work to highlight even more glaringly the solid black color of their skin.

Each seemingly simple portrait appears to be made of of many geometric shapes, adding a playful yet modern touch to each piece. Despite starting out as largely the same silhouette, each profile ends up very different, almost in a celebration of individuality.
