This is really well done...don't miss it, and you have to read it first.



Don't dare to miss this amazing Video Clip . . first read it properly..



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.



To be continued........

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.

This girl is really talented , according to her nobody taught her to do it .

She is a professional artist but learnt how to play with sand herself.



She is taking part in the similat competition in Russia .

I wish her good luck and the first prize.

I apologise for repeating this posting but unfortunately, as I said in msg 4, I was computerless for a few days and missed it.



I agree with all, an extremely talented lady, I can barely build a sand castle let alone anything like this.
