<u>CSS art is a fascinating form of digital</u><u>art that utilizes Cascading Style Sheets</u><u>(CSS) to create intricate designs and</u><u>illustrations solely using HTML and CSS code.</u><u>Typically, CSS artists manipulate shapes,</u><u>colors, gradients, and positioning techniques</u><u>to craft visually stunning compositions.</u><u>To determine whether something qualifies</u><u>as true CSS art, it's essential to examine</u><u>its complexity, creativity, and the extent</u><u>to which it pushes the boundaries of what</u><u>can be achieved using CSS alone.</u>
