for those of you who prefer to do so:
1st Read ALL BELOW Fully and Properly... The link to the video is
near the bottom. First read about her and about her arts story.
This MUST SEE AMAZING video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s Got Talent".
It's Kseniya Simonova, a 24 young lady that does a drawing with 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 admittedly is uncommon and special. It’s mesmeric to watch.
This lady has been given a special gift from God! What she does with
this sand that produces her art is amazing. She is so fluid and
transforming with it that she is able to tell a story with her art
that will a person awestruck. Each will stare in wonder is wonder -
"Just How Does She Do This? It's amazing!
The images she creates with just sand, a pinch or a sprinkle, or a
dot, or a spray, or a wipe and other techniques’ that also is
combined with speed that she is able to tell a story with her art that
will leave a person memorized.
The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the
audience to tears and she won the top prize of about £75,000.
Kseniya Simonova's Story in Art.
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."
Please take time out to see this amazing piece of art.
