  • Do not watch if...

    Your uncomfortable with tears streaming down your cheeks...


    Watch this and you will see some one with a good talent better some of the others you see on tv.

    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.

    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."

    We were warned

    Wow, don't know what to say...
    I also don't know about art but that was moving on a lot of different levels. The talent, the story,the audience envolvement, the unique medium.
    I'll leave it to someone more eloquent to describe.

        I must be a cold hearted bastard, cause it really didn't move me, let alone to tears.

        Sorry.

        Good artistry though, and I like the idea of art in motion like that. Now, if we could pitch in and get that gal and XS11....

              I enjoyed it and my two young daughters were fascinated.

                It wasn't so much the story that moved me as the sheer talent.

                How many master painters had to redo thier masterpieces several times, while she does it, in real time, in sand!

                I couldn't believe the shading she can do and she used both hands...

                      Someone sent me a link to this a few weeks ago, but I didnt get the story until now. Thanks Craz, I knew she was telling a story, I just didnt figure out what it was.

                      Someone should show that to Simon Cowell, he still thinks Susan Boyle has talent.

                        Didn't miss it, just didn't think it was odd.

                            I thought the whole thing was odd, except for the one thing that sounded normal.

                              Sorry,I wasn't moved but I do admire the young ladies talent.I have very little appreciation for art.I think that's my loss,I wish I could understand the creativity and passion that others have for the arts.But I just can't make it work for me.
