Yavava meaning “Who is she?” in colloquial Tamil.

It is a feeling. It is an attitude.

This artwork is very much like that.

I do not have much to say about it. Share it if you like it. Ping me if it speaks to you or if you have something to say. For artists, interaction is what truly matters.

I hope you like it.

For months, she existed only as a feeling in my head; a woman inspired by an illustration by Steffi, someone you never fully see, yet somehow never forget. And maybe this final film is my version of finally meeting her.

What began as admiration for an artwork slowly turned into a visual world built through texture, shadows, and atmosphere. And the beautiful handpainted Liquorice Green Brushwork Background by @baroquebackdrops became such an important part of that world. Its deep green tones, layered brushwork, and painterly texture added this quiet old-world drama to every frame. It's rich enough to feel cinematic, yet subtle enough to never overpower the subject.

It didn’t feel like a backdrop anymore. It felt like the room she belonged in.

Dear love, I am here

I came across an illustration by Steffi a while back, and I genuinely couldn’t stop thinking about it for days. There was something about this woman you never fully see that stayed with me so deeply. I kept going back to the artwork, trying to understand why it felt so familiar and distant at the same time.

I don’t know if this is exactly what Steffi intended while creating her but this series slowly became my own interpretation of that feeling. Not a recreation but me trying to hold onto the emotion the artwork left behind in me.

Thank you for inspiring this little visual world, Steffi. @artbyboostuffy

This is the BTS of a series inspired by an illustration by Steffi that stayed with me for a very long time.

I think we often search for inspiration in famous art while people around us are quietly creating extraordinary things too. What drew me in was how little the artwork revealed, yet how deeply it made me feel. I don’t know if this is exactly what she intended while creating it, but this became my interpretation of that emotion .. translated through photography, texture, light, and mood. ✨

For this setup, we used the Baroque Studio's Liquorice Green Brushwork Canvas Background. It's beautiful soft texture and deep muted tones helped bring that cinematic, emotional atmosphere to life.

Art didn’t just give me something to do, it gave me a way to feel, to process, to stay.

Women’s Day is a day to remember that equal rights cannot be performed. They need to be voiced, demanded, barged for, and built on the shoulders of our ancestors. Today many go to school because several people fought for our place in educational institutions. Today we cast our vote because a few stood their ground. Men walked hand in hand with this belief that the journey of life is not divided, but lived together as equals. Take part in policy change and local civic rights, and make way for future generations to not face the same struggles we have.
