Amazing Artwork

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. 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 war planes 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.

Very talented girl. Impressive, and obviously moving for those close to it.

 

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for that Weston, what an amazing talent, it's a hard task to express so much in such a short time but she achieves that. Impressive, it certainly beats most of our untalented karaoke generation of reality stars.

I think I saw this a while ago. Was it about Beslan?

Reminds me of the twinings tea adverts.

Amazing video, she is uber talented and hot.

 

It has been posted before buddy. But Kudos for it coming up again, i still enjoy it.

[hypochondriac]

She is hot.

I think I've seen an advert on telly copying that technique

[Weston Saint]

Thanks all did not see it first time round. Only got sent it recently. Hopefully a few more new eyes will see it for the first time.

Hadn't seen it before - wonderful. The writing at the end (roughly translated!) means 'You are always beside me'.

Yes, it is fantastic, but it has been posted three times before, that I have seen, so there might even be more times.

[Gigersaint]

First time I've seen it and glad it was posted again after I missed it the other times.

 

Truly amazing talent and worthy of being a winner for being very unique and unusual at that, unlike most of the same old talentless crap we see on the UK version of the programme.

[Nessy7]

That was absolutely amazing. I can't believe people seem to be being negative that it has been posted before. So what, they didn't know. And I for one hadn't seen it before and am very glad it was re-posted.

[St Landrew]

Apologies to those who haven't seen it before, but it does get slightly annoying when someone posts the latest gee-whizz thing and half the forum have already seen it, half a dozen times, ad nauseum.

 

I've been guilty of it myself, and got exactly the same treatment, so the reaction is nothing new.

 

Note to self: must try to be more patient with posters.

Thanks Weston, first time for me as well. I'll have to spend less time on the takeover thread to catch up on more interesting stuff!
