Tremors throughout the body; This young artist defeated fate with his amazing artworks
People having no physical illness are also unable to draw, build a model of a vehicle even when viewed multiple times. It is also impossible to create perfect constructions, even for someone who completed an engineering degree. It is why art is said to be innate.
Shiji, an artist from Ernakulam, stands out as unique in front of the vast majority of people, who were worried and think of "I would not be able to do anything, I have no talents" without taking advantage of their talents.

Shiji has not studied in any of the reputed institutions or having any degrees, he laughs and says, "I haven't seen any of these creations before, I build as it is what my mind says." Started building these creative artworks in my childhood. It was my elder brothers who first taught me to do things like this, says Shiji.
