What I find so awesome about this isn’t the idea of just making pretty sand drawings, she’s telling a story through a unique medium, one that’s actually interesting to consider. As a storytelling medium, she uses it quicker than anyone could draw normally, there’s a visual aspect to it, it’s live, intimate, elegant and surprisingly cohesive, there is no other medium that does everything better. This is just art, full stop.
You should check out her other performances as she was competing on Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions edition
Other things to consider is the use of performing live to a set music recording, she can't take her time to get every detail perfect and has to keep moving the progression of the story along in tempo. While this is a constraint in a way, there's a live stage performance opportunity- like she does with rapidly drawing the faces in agony at 3:30 when the driving staccato/fortissimo strings part starts, and ends that segment with what looks like a mushroom cloud-like conflagration until right when that segment ends the "fallout" transitions into being a woman's wavy hair. She also times the "reveal" of when the final form she's working towards comes at the most evocative measure in the music like the shape she's making at the end is the baby reflecting the dead father.
(I might be reaching on these next two:) some of the motions of her hands while she's shaping the sand also seem to add something static forms of visual media don't have, as in both times she goes back to form the tear drops on the women's faces, it's a similar motion a person would do to wipe the tears from another's face (which could be the artist just tidying up details or could be intentional emotive import) and during the transitions, before the final form of what she's intending is clear, the set up with the sand pouring or first stage of shaping can form a shape that makes us jump to conclusions like shadowplay/rorschach test and then seconds later it's reveled to be something else which keeps the viewers eyes and brain more engaged than nearly any other medium (e.g. would be towards the end at 6 min mark when she's forming the orthodox cathedral's dome for a second it looks like the hand of God/puppetmaster ordaining the way things play out, which is germane somewhat even when it's later revealed to be a holy building- I admit that one's maybe just me, but it just shows the potential power of the medium to engage memories/imagination).
Hi! This video shows my Ukraine's Got talemt show in 2009. Pretty long ago. For now I have downloaded more than 200 videos with different sand art stories on my channel. Welcome to see, to subscribe and be friends! Sincerely, Kseniya Simonova
+Kseniya Simonova (Sand Artist) You are very talented. I love your work!
+Hugh Machen yes, I have - w w w . simonova.tv
+Sand Artist Kseniya Simonova (Sand Artist) What is the story about
+Sand Artist Kseniya Simonova (Sand Artist) This was incredible. I never knew about this style of art but I am so glad I saw your video. My jaw was on the ground the whole time. Love your use of Apocalyptica music. It complimented everything you did. And you did it all so perfectly.
+New●Jersey You seriously didn't get it? Its about how 2 people met each other and lost due to WW2 Russia vs Germany. And how much damage war created for other people. This is why you see all the old people cry in the audience. Because they lived through that and lost their relatives. This was a very emotional act
Anybody here after she got the golden buzzer on AGT champions
She deserves to win
Makara Nou ikr she really needs to win we have never had a sand artist win AGT
yes im
Right here...after seeing her today again..
It's been years since I last saw this but it got me sobbing and eventually ugly crying. She is so talented and the story is very sad
I JUST learned of this amazing artist on the show “Right This Minute.” This woman’s talent is mesmerizing. I love it!
This video had me in tears for some reason, and i don't even speak the language.
it's apparently about Ukraine people's struggles in the war, and brought back a lot of painful and emotional memories for MANY people
Not much talking there anyways. Doesn't really matter, if you can understand the language or not
What an incredible display of talent and creativity. Just amazing.
Not all great stories are told by mouths after all. Beautiful.
That was/is absolutely amazing.
breathtaking performance! unbelievable...
The music brings the emotions plus her art plus what happened....
Absolutely awesome.
Brilliant
When the "bombs" dropped, a seismic wave shocked my whole house....
I don't know how you pick a winner with mine all this Talent. But if I had to I like Courtney but this lady here hands down to me it's the winner.
just goes to show talent is not limited to singing. Amazing artist
jim boniface, You're so right! Anyone could relate to these magnificent drawings and not have to say a word! Many ways to communicate without talking. Showing very strong emotions! This is the first time I ever saw something so beautiful and sad at the same time. I was just saying earlier, I hope the Judges on AGT Champions don't get bored quickly when she starts out drawing in the sand next week on AGT Champions.
You know how Simon, Mel.B. & Heidi? Seem to get bored easily! This talent is God Given no doubt! I'm Amazed!
very nice.I want to learn this art
Einfach genial .
Where can one buy those amazing sand art box set to learn? Any chance to learn it online,? Love your exhibition.,
😢 Я аж расплакалась класть Зак нравится
جماعة الاغنية دي اسمها ايه؟؟
What is the name of this music ? ❤️
تعرفن النجوم ومسمياتها
this is deep
حلو
2:33 Please someone tell me this song. I'e always loved it, but lost it (as well as the artist/name of the song) on my old broken laptop.
Тёмная ночь / Tyomnaja Notch by Марк Бернес / Mark Bernes
Anybody here after BGT Champions.
Oh so for the finals of champions she remade this art....?
Anybody know the song at the beginning. pls let me know for my thesis project thank you
does anyone knows all the background instruments name? I am looking for the songs lol
what is the name of the song where a man sings during the video(6:52) ?
Nothing Else Matters.
Who’s here because of Russia vs Ukraine 2022
It makes me so desperately sad that this is happening to them again.
I came back to rewatch this just for that reason. God, I can't stop crying.
**ME TOO.**
This is not the same Ukraine now. Nowadays, such drawings and music can get you imprisoned or beaten up. And now Ukraine's national heroes are not those people who are depicted in the sand.
It is NOT again...this is regarding ww2. IT was about entire Soviet Union being attacked by the German Natzis. It's unfortunate that some of them natzis now still exist...this is what is now in Ukraine. Ukraine is occupied by a good portion of Natzis, and they have a very control over their government, I pity their president, as he can do nothing about it, he's in a trap. Moreover, Ukraine civilians as well as Russian civilians that live there have to suffer due to their barbaric actions. If you know anything about history, please don't confuse the conflicts that go on now with ww2. What's depicted in this sand art is about all the countries affected during ww2...especially Russia, also Ukraine, and all the other countries that were part of Soviet Union. I am opposed war, but it's not the Russians who started today's so called 'war'; there's been a war since 2014, and was led by their Natzis, 14,000 ccivilians died, and it's not Russians who killed them, but these Natzies. Ukrainians will regain their country, ONLY, if they get rid of the Natzies occupying their cities. This is what Russia is trying to do now, the Russians came to protect their people, because it's been going out of hand. Unfortunately, the media show completely different stories, spreading lies and hatred. Prayers for both Russia and Ukraine, and everyone. 🙏
Watch this interview by Scott Ritter, and also look for part 2 of it to get more input on today's events in Ukriane.

HiRyeRye wdym?
After 6 years this is still the very best sand art show I've ever seen.
You'd better see how Tetiana Galitsyna draws....... find here on UA-cam her channel - galitsyna.tv
Thank you! I was wondering what that said.
Temnaya Noch - Mark Bernes
Chelsea zhou she draw this on 2016? So wdym after 6 years
Riley Franco that's just when it was published on this particular channel. You can find another from 2009.
24/2/2022 came this video in my mind..
God bless Ukrania..
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇺🇦🇬🇷🇬🇷
No matter which language you speak, no matter in which corner you are on earth,the human feelings will always be the same.
I cant able to understand the language but i understand each and every emotions.
Turn on subtitle and u will cry
@@NoumakaraThank you. I did and I did. Hugs.
@@Noumakara Changos, no sabía que había subtítulos. Lo veré de nuevo. Gracias.
Russian 😉
That spiked real tears from an African guy
The people in that audience are under attack right now, today.
God help the Ukrainian people in these difficult days when an evil enemy has attacked this beautiful country again.
Ten years later and I realize this ends with Apocalyptica's Nothing Else Matters. I think this has been scratching the back of my brain since I first saw this video. Don't know how I missed it. So beautiful.
Same! When I heard it again on Wednesday series I knew the sound is familiar but I don't remember where and when I first heard it. It was this video!
Found myself here again today. My heart breaks for Ukraine. 💔
Anyone else stopping by because they are feeling a type of way 😭
Yes, sadly
What a terrible, terrible paralel with what happened to Ukraine two days ago... Слава Україні! Героям слава!
Today news reminded me of this as well.
At 2:03 she draws 10 people in 2 and a half seconds. This is the most brilliant piece is drawing I have ever seen. I am told very often that I have drawing skills. And from time to time I come here to see how much I have left to learn.
randombloke that part also got me, I was like what just happened??
@@MeMe-tw4xb I slowed it down to a quarter of the speed, and it was still amazing.
I also did slowed it down to 1/4 speed. She used ONE right hand and just flitter flatter her hand across the canvas and magically formed those people, ready for the detailing. How many hours do you need to practice to get this proficient and the accuracy with the speed is unfathomable. Also the storytelling is excellent, I have yet have to come across a performance that tops this from all aspect of 'art'. Post a video of you find something that beats this, in all art genre.
This part blew me away
Still touches my heart especially with everything going on. #prayforUkraine
she is pro Russia
This is NOT a talent.....................THIS IS DEFINITELY A "GIFT"!!
Being able to SEE, EXPRESS and DESIGN VISIONS THRU ABSTRACT IS FRICKIN AMAZING............AND NOT TO MENTION......SHE'S DOING IT IN SAND............AND DAMN SHE'S VERY PRETTY ;-)
You cannot teach this, this is some past spiritual life of an old ARTIST born thru her, TOTALLY AMAZING!!
Playing METALLICA was also a great touch!!
Talent and Gift are the same thing
Talent, gift, skill, blessed, lucky, miracle, etc....ALL DIFFERENT in its own distinguished perception.
Talent can be learned. One is born with a gift.
You need to learn what talent means
eastern style
😥😥
May God bless Ukraine and protect her 🤲🏻
💯💯💯💯💯
1:31 and I’m already losing it 😢
Its 2022 and it’s happening again i hope everyone in the Ukraine is okay❤️❤️❤️❤️😭
I feel privileged to see this heart felt history of the Ukraine people's painful history.
The tears in the young people's eyes validated the truthfulness in the art.
I hope people understand this video. I always watch it when I'm feeling down because not much can compare to what people had to go through back in the day. this video is about WWII and when Germany killed MILLIONS of Russians and Ukrainians. The only way people got through this horrific time was because of religion, family, hope, and love.
What's happening from 2:00 to 2:50
According to my understanding it's an original broadcasting telling the germans have invaded
I don't understand this video at all could you please give me a reader's digest version explanation? Thanx
J. J. In the way I see it and understand it, she’s presenting all the events that occurred prior and during the Second World War , probably in Eastern Europe. Ksenia Simonova is Ukrainian and the show is Ukrainian as well.
This is of course really attached in most people’s memories, the way she depicts them is just amazing
I whole-heartedly agree with everything you said. There's not much to add. It's important to look back at the past, so we don't repeat it and so we appreciate what we have.
It gives Goosebumps everytime I see. I pray for Ukraine all day . Anyone knows about the symbol on the 05 minute?
I think it is the monument in Victory Square Kyiv called "Obelisk of the hero city of Kyiv"
I wonder how Kseniya is doing today.
Did anyone notice that her timing on her art is extraordinary with the music?? Not just art but the story timing and length is so unbelievable. SHE is a genius and i love her. You cant judge these kind of talent. Its truly incredibly unimaginably harmoniously amazing
She’s a genius and the music compliments her perfectly 😢
8:26 " You're always there " 1945
Do u know the song at 2:30?
Temnaya Noch - Mark Bernes
Do you know the song at 8:52?
@@mich_freyja not sure if you mean 6:52, if so, i think its apocolyptica's instrumental version of 'nothing else matters' by metalica
@@madmeddik Yes. My mistake Thank you.
she has a great ability to communicate and move through her art. Bello!
This nearly got me in tears, it's like I held my breath for 9 minutes, I'm still shocked. Words aren't enough, this art literally talked to me, I could watch her do that for hours. Thanks for the great great performance! May the innocent victims of war rest in peace.
Why did I think this was about the Titqnic. I grew up thinking this was about the titanic cos that’s what I was told
This makes me want to learn about that war.
I didn't cry because much of the symbolism was lost on me, but I could see from the reactions of the crowd and judges that this art held a deeper meaning to them than just how incredibly beautiful it was.
Although it was a long time ago, now when I watch this and I know what is happening right behind our borders in Ukraine, that people are dying, shot on streets, they are loosing families, friends, and homes, and first of all, their freedom, its just heartbreaking.
Words aren't enough talked.
ART: The only one thing in this fucked up world that makes me feel proud of being "human" :')
*comments in 2020*
I'm from Ukraine, and I love my country.
Так, каждый любит свою страну вроде)Ща Зеленский всё сделает как надо и будем любить ещё больше нашу страну)ы
I hope you are safe.
Now you have made yourself known to me so my prayer will include you and yours specifically.
Strength to the brave Ukranian people during these sad days! Our thoughts are with you! More support is on the way!
she is pro Russian
I've seen this video many times; and it still makes me cry.
This was absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I love the instrumental version of Nothing Else Matters at the end This kind of art was mind boggling and gorgeous. This was true talent
One of the most wonderful and moving things I have ever seen.. Congratulations Kseniya - that is both incredibly beautiful and incredibly skillful. :-)
One of the best sand art I have ever seen and the music blends with it appropriately, Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
At first I was worried everyone would get impatient with the act. I'm glad to see there are still some cultures with the patience to give this act a chance to transform into the beautiful story that it did. Judges on America's Got Talent would have buzzed this act off the stage 3 minutes in.
Viziionary I disagree. America would have appreciated this amazing talent. It’s a gift no matte4 what country or what language
She gets 3rd on agt
Do you want to rethink that? Watch her performance from tonight’s AGT Champions!
Viziionary - this act received golden buzzer in AGT contrary to what you just mentioned. :D
Katherine Finley why are you responding to a comment from 2 years ago
Someone have links of the different songs used on her show ? I watch this video like a movie. This is sad memories. This Woman is a complex artist : she’s like a director, tellin a story, using boards, musics. ✨🔥
When I was in sixth grade, (about 3 years ago), my art teacher showed us this video.
My class and I we're kind of confused at first, but then we sort of understood what was happening.
We were all really sad by the end of it.
:(
Does anybody know what the background music consists of? What pieces? They are very beautiful and emotional
OMGF This woman is AMAZING, WHAT A GIFTED HANDS. You can’t get bored watching her doing her magic.
Also, she is kínda Gaara of the sand, from Naruto.
Very beautiful Kseniya; words are not necessary since your pictures paint a thousand words, warmest regards, Dr Ahmed Adam [South Africa]
Slava Ukraini!
She's a master in telling a story in her performances. Hands down to this artist.
подобная красота я ещё не видел... Молодец , это супер просто, и очень трогательно. надеюсь людей в этом сумасшедшем мире поняли содержание этого прекрасного видео.
С любовью из Судана
I am not an emotional person and I don't tend to cry even on funerals of my family members. This is so far the only thing that makes me cry every time I watch it even after watching it for 20th time thoughout 10 years so far.
I watch this every time I feel my body needs to cry, but it is not able to do it itself..
Emotionally - this is a masterpiece for me..
This by far was a better work than she did on AGT.....this was incredibly moving and heart-wrenching!
God, please protect her and ukraine during this hard time
unbelieveble
this actually makes me very interested in the history of your story
ooooh 2nd World War .. i thought this story went way more back in time.
she did an awesome job!
Ah ok .. every war is the biggest bullshit.
I know a lot of different wars and yes .. Barbarossa was ideed one of the biggest tragedy in the history
Thx for your reply and i wish you hereby a merry X-mas
Ukraine's awful history through Soviet times in sand art. The Ukrainians are now free to talk about the terrible times of Soviet repression. Truth is powerful. It sets us free. As you could see, the audience was in tears.
Except that this repression was Nazi repression which Ukrainians and Russians, united, fought against at great cost. That is what they are crying about.
Nationalism can be a toxic, toxic thing.
Ahh found this video, i remember before this video uploaded in 2016, maybe 2010 or 2011. I'm watching this video on my cousin's laptop. That's so emotional and make me cry when i was a child. I really love this video, such a nostalgia i can remember my past
Saw her perform on a Royal Caribbean Cruise and I was speechless. Watching thid, I still am. She is absolutely fantastic!
Who is here after watching America Got the Talent ! Very talented artist !!
7:15
I gotta admit, it is kinda hard to get emotional over something when you do not know the words.
But once that song started to play, I knew the words. I knew the feels and I knew the emotion.
What she did and what she does with sand, her performance, her, all beautiful.
Also, this might sound weird or nuts, but when she blew out the candle, I could smell it.
This story and the way she tells it never falls to break my heart.
So here's some songs I found
3:20 Harmageddon - Apocalyptic
3:45 Auschwitz-Berkenau (from "Schindlers list")
6:14 Nothing else Matters - Apocalyptic
I can't find the ones in Russian. Hope this helps some of yall that been curious for so long
@JLP18star The Russian one is '' Juravli '' . You can basically search it on youtube as '' Марк Бернес - Журавли ''
Art has no language barriers, love it.
My grandparents were there, and they managed to survive. If they were killed, I would not live now.
Can anyone tell me what the jingle is at 1.29? My grandparents had a huge valve powered long wave radio (what would be now called vintage) and I would play with it as a toddler. I heard this tune once all those years ago and it's been in my head ever since. I'm amazed to hear it again exactly as I remember it. I'm guessing it was a radio jingle but would love to discover its origins.
I came here from *AGT The Champions*
Wow i can't believe my eyes ♥️💯
What a great beautiful talent.
I know its a sad story.
But it need to be told.
So we all can let the younger generations know why there was a WW2.
My grandparents&parents lived it true that war and some of my sisters to.
I am now 66 so i am born after the war. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us.
God bless you.
I watch this a couple times a year, it never fails to bring me to tears.
This means more given current events and shows that Ukraine is no stranger to war and it’s resilience will win.
Sadly, this is so relevant today
Forever one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen.
Yes. Her artwork is amazing! One cannot knock that. But I see no one is talking about her choice of music to match the scenarios. The real reason why people in the audience are in tears is actually because of the music selection. Music can be used to manipulate and amplify emotions. This was brilliantly executed here to cue the audience into what she was trying to convey in her art pieces; whether it was joy, sadness, fear, or longing. What a performance! 👏👏👏👏
Actually it _wasn't_ the music itself that brought people to tears. Did you turn on the CC (subtitles) and watch the video? Because if you did, you would understand that the story she told was of WWII when Germany attacked Russia. I'm sure a lot of people in the audience had family members who died during the war. That is the whole purpose of the story she was telling and that story coupled with the narration (which brings back those painful memories), is the _real_ reason many people were brought to tears.
If you need to take a moment to understand the harm of war, this is what you're seeking. PEACE is a choice. ✌️~THC
Теперь они обостряют войну между Россией и Украиной, они хладнокровно остановят войну и позволят делать это из-за несправедливости и хладнокровно прекратят ее и помолятся за народ бывшего Советского Союза. Война против закона несправедливость 🇷🇺🇺🇦 😰😭💔🙏🏻🤲🏻
She is stunningly beautiful and unbelievably talent. The speciality in her art to me is that she doesn't only makes an art but performs a complete act, tells a story of a lifetime or more and gives a complete satisfaction.
