Kseniya Simonova's Amazing Sand Drawing
"This video shows the winner of " Ukraine’s Got Talent",
Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of
pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary
people were affected by the German invasion during World War
II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one,
is mesmeric to watch.
The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the
audience to tears and she won the top prize of about
75,000 British pounds.
She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting
holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes
appear and the happy scene is obliterated.
It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby
arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and
Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young
woman’s face appears.
She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad,
before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.
This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer
is looking out on the monument from within a house.
In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a
man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass,
saying goodbye.
The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine , resulted in
one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11
million deaths out of a population of 42 million.
Kseniya Simonova says:
"I find it difficult enough to
create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using
sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when
the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some
audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger
compliment."
take time out to see this amazing piece of art..."

Децата лудо я харесват също. И Миллион алых роз. Все ме карат да превеждам и им харесва езика. И им казвам, че благодарение на руския, който учехме в училище сме се докоснали до една велика култура и светоусещане, което те за съжаление няма да направят. Ама кво да направя. Мамо хайде да ни научиш...
Кога да ви науча бе деца! Ние едно време имахме баби и дядовци, а сега за всичко сме ние.
Пак ли повтарям?
