Spanish term

Dintorno

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
An art textbook distinguishes between 3 elements of shapes: contorno, dintorno y silueta.

It gives this definition of dintorno: "la superficie interior que genera el contorno de la forma".

I understand what it means, I'm just not sure how to express it in English!

Many thanks in advance for your help.
