(January 7, 2022)<\/strong> As a five-year-old, N Semmozhi would be immersed in sketching and painting for hours. Random drawings but immensely creative. An image in her head would be put to paper. Some made sense, others did not. Now 16, Semmozhi is one of those creative bees who has a rare quality of dreaming her painting, and then painting that dream. The teen content creator is self-sufficient, not dependent on parents for pocket money as her artwork has already made her an independent artist. She has six million-plus followers of her art page — Art and Soul — on Trell today.<\/p>\n

\u201cContent creation is all about bringing your ideas to life. Sometimes we have something in our heads, but have trouble translating that on paper. My content helps me visualise what I see,\u201d smiles the 16-year-old.<\/p>\n

Born and brought up in Chennai, Semmozhi was always curious with an enduring passion for art. \u201cMy father realised my talent early, enrolled me in art classes. Art grows within you and I am the evidence of it,\u201d smiles this 11th<\/sup> grader at Union Christian Public school<\/a> in Chennai. Her mother is a chartered accountant and CFO at a hospital, and her father runs a garment chain.<\/p>\n

Her journey of converting art from a hobby to a career has been exhilarating. Early this year, she started uploading artworks on social media with the handle \u201cartandsoulby semmu\u201d and within a couple of weeks, a video went viral. \u201cSeeing social media\u2019s potential, I joined Trell in July to create more videos on arts and crafts to share my passion with the world,\u201d informs Semmozhi, quoting Pablo Picasso, \u201cArt washes from the soul the dust of everyday life…\u201d<\/p>\n
