We cannot see black holes because no light comes from them1. They are so gravitationally massive that even light cannot escape from a black hole, thus the name black hole.

1 While there is an emission of matter and energy, called Hawking radiation, that theoretically radiates from the perimiter of a black hole, no energy of any kind (including Hawking radiation) escapes from inside the black hole.
