Dear Friends! Thank you for watching my work, it is a big honor to me... This is not my official channel, so welcome to my one where you will be able to see new sand stories! Sincerely, Kseniya Simonova, the sand artist

[@margaretnorton5816]

Sand Artist Kseniya Simonova Thankyou so very much for sharing your amazing sand art, they are inspiring and poignant, you are so very talented, Margaret (Australia)

[@inkleef]

I was brought here by an instagram account dedicated to experimental animation. Your work moved me to tears. Just amazing

[@kkleta]

you are not only beautifull but also you have a great talent. i really like you and your art.

[@Astrofrank]

I would be a good artist if I had 1% of your talent.

[@jeinmarkova]

Сейчас в это время это видео так актуально, до слёз...

[@davidrust3169]

This is some of the most beautiful art I've ever had the pleasure of seeing.

[@JimtheOtter]

I've seen her work before. She's amazing. Real-time art.

[@ДжонМед]

Пройшло 11 років , а я знов заходжу що б передивись вашу Ксенія неймовірну роботу ! Пам‘ятаю як вперший раз побачив по стб цей випуск і як тієї ночі відправили за вас смс що б ви перемогли ! Україна і справді має талант !!! Велика шана вам , за це !

[@KseniyaSimonovaTV]

Спасибо!

[@mance1990]

Everyone who dislike this is not normal!!! THIS IS TALENT!!! THIS IS ART!!! This is something incredible but true!!! Greetings from Serbia.

[@SusanMorrisonJones]

This is personally the most powerful piece of art and storytelling I have ever witnessed. You are an amazing person Kseniya.

[@alxtor]

Words at the end: "You are always near"

[@musicianhayd]

Ты всегда рядом

[@OscarMarohn23]

I've watched this a number of times over the years, just because it's so beautiful, and I get tingles every time I watch.

[@rksu747]

This woman is amazing! I can see why people are so touched by her art and storytelling.

[@LeoPold.....]

Много раз пересматривал и ... всегда слёзы! Спасибо Вам!

[@CamilleonProductions]

This is incredible! She basically just chucks sand around and it becomes one of the most beautiful pieces of artwork!

[@beckiejbrown]

6:55 onwards and I'm crying! :'O. Such talent!

[@patchesjay]

Thank you for sharing this link, as well as your self on yt, and I take this opportunity to wish you a happy 21st birthday will forward you a birthday card on twitter or g+

[@beckiejbrown]

I love it! I found it years ago and stumbled across it this week again - beautiful piece.

[@AlyssaLeannSmith]

Thank you for bringing me to this absalute artist.

[@LarryTaint-qn8pd]

That's gotta be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on youtube.

[@19555664]

Ксения, слов нету, супер!!! Огромное Тебе, спасибо!

[@zarina98]

I cry every time I watch it, the first time I saw it I cried a river, my face was covered in tears, there were less tears now but I still cry.

[@bruceboatwright7488]

This is the sort of thing that makes me wish I knew the language being spoken, or in this case sung. Even though I lack the language, I felt the emotion, it comes through clearly. Thank you.

[@musicianhayd]

The two pensive songs sung in Russian are by the same artist, Марк Бернес (Mark Bernes), songs 3 and 6 in the description. The beautiful cursive at the end reads "Ты всегда рядом", which means "You are always near".

[@bruisedvein]

I cried a lot :( as a russian the songs she chose were absolutely heart-wrenching and hit the heart pretty hard

[@samohara5187]

LOVE that orchestrated version of Nothing Else Matters at the end. Goes brilliantly with the art.

[@rafaelvivas5599]

Honor and Glory to Ukraine. From Venezuela!

[@АлексейКрымский-к1е]

lol man , ukraine is a fashists

[@nadol7542]

в этом видео говорится о войне советского народа против фашисткой германии с 1941 по 1945. Причём тут 2022? 🫠

[@TracyAllenVideos]

Amazing talent. Also amazing how there can be so many dislikes... Even if you don't understand the "art", you've gotta admit that this is true talent... No?

[@ПётрЗелинский-о5ф]

Периодически захожу пересмотреть. Очень трогательное музыкальное сопровождение - заставляет пустить слезу. Очень сильно передаются те чувства, которые испытывали наши деды и бабушки, тот ужас войны и грусть разлуки. Великолепное выступление. А те иностранцы, которые пишут cried, это они просто еще перевода песен не знают, иначе бы наводнение устроили.

[@shaherezada28]

Музыку можно понимать и без слов.

[@ДмитрийДонской-х6е]

Душевно очень получилось !!! До слёз прямо !!! Какая она умница !!! Всем мира и любви !!! Быть добру !!!

[@SirCumference31]

6 years later and this is still probably the best thing I've ever watched.

[@WarriorMax2017]

You are right! In 2021 this is the best thing ever

[@galachika4280]

Талантище !!! Браво ! Спасибо за такой талант и умение донести столь важную тему к душам !

[@yadro]

perhaps my favorite KZbin video ever.

[@cynthiabalacuitchan3182]

Brought tears to my eyes

[@ДмитрийДонской-й5ю]

Душевно и трогательно очень до слез !!!

[@gramefreer9684]

Five years ago!!! Blimey!! With respect I am unable to speake any other language except English; I am English born and bred. I am so enthralled with you folk who demonstrate sand animation. It fascinates me to here and beyond as does perspective generally...has to be mathematical somewhere, surely???? To all you sand folk I admire your work and, to a degree, puzzle and wonder why it is we. all of us, seem to be unable to draw or, perhaps, it is all down to just how we see things around us, shapes, colours (UK) and perspactive, light/shade? I remain intrigued and forever doodling ( I try to copy M.C. Escher)....to this lady I say "Thank you"....from me in UK.

[@ricardosarmento6578]

Estou chocado... As expressões da artista enquanto desenhava, o modo como deitava cá para fora tudo que sentia no seu interior, a técnica, o desenho... tudo maravilhoso ao mesmo tempo triste e revoltante que me deixou a chorar. Obrigado!!!

[@МаринаЧерная-ь8г]

Как в подробностях и деталях передан артобстрел... Огромное Вам уважение, Ксения! Горячий привет из Донецка!!

[@Jack6U]

Вы никуя про настоящие арт обстрелы не знаете донецкие ебланы! 10 лет бомбили бамбас....

[@tanithlambi]

It is the story of the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945. One big tragedy for people of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. That's why people are crying.

[@thoruszwolf4153]

Without a word spoken, the story, in all it's beauty, tragedy, joy an emotion is conveyed... how can one not shed a tear :.(

[@fryingscotsmanful]

u my friend r a poet. i am constantly impressed by ur writings. oh yeah the crossbow is infact faster than the bow like i have been saying from the get go . ;)

[@thoruszwolf4153]

fryingscotsmanful Thanx man, I try to keep unbiased and from the heart in all my conversations, but sarcasm and humour needs it's place as well, for laughter is the language of the soul.

[@fryingscotsmanful]

Thorus Zwolf agreed

[@TheSvetlana1937]

очень талантливая девочка!

[@KseniyaSimonovaTV]

Спасибо:)

[@plexx365]

So breathtakingly beautiful! I can't get enough of her talent, just touched me to the core! Stunning piece of art!

[@davidbrucemusicvideo]

If you're not in tears, or fighting back tears, halfway through this, run to your nearest hospital and scream to the staff to bring out a cardiac cart, because you're dead, and you need to be revived... And yes, 6:10 into it, the music is a rendition of "Nothing Else Matters", by Metallica. Beautiful...

[@RapeDrugSA]

Not everyone is sensitive enough to get emotional halfway through what they might not understand is a story of WW2, from song lyrics of a language they do not speak and therefore just see this as beautiful art. If they need cardiac stimulant you need a xanax.

[@Jackle919]

lol how do i get emotional when i didnt even get what was going one

[@Armuotas]

zeakchi Google "The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union 1941-1945" and you'll get it.

[@MzeeMoja1]

I'm sorry but your tears seem to come too easy. I can do with that talent of crying any time I 'feel'. Note I call it talent coz you appear to be a man. Thankyouverymuch.

[@ibrama.a2514]

What a particular artist to express a true events in this way, and with an appropriate music that gives you goose bumps!

[@nebel444]

Очень красиво.

[@frostfrost1]

Это магия. Девушка - самородок. С момента публикации этого видео между Россией и Украиной много чего случилось :( Это политика, конфликт на уровне президентов, правительств, которые, во в имя геополитических интересов, решают свои вопросы. Печально, что все больше людей смотрят свое национальное ТВ, пропитываются национальным идеологическим ядом и начинают (беспочвенно) ненавидеть друг друга. Ка бы то ни было, у нас есть общая история. Все мы потеряли родственников. Дедов, прадедов на этой войне... Я Россиянин, и мне искренне больно за то, что между мной и моими друзьями в Украине исскустевенно (с обоих сторон) создали такую пропасть. Ксения, спасибо за выражение Вашей Души.

[@katerynakondrasheva4573]

тоже самое могу сказать со свой стороны

[@fggftfff4078]

и зал ижюри плакали и я,за душу берет

[@trogdorthe8th]

Natural talent, hard worker, and an inspirational piece. I hope this young woman continues and goes far, she has truly moved me

[@MadlynCreekmore]

What a clever, compassionate and and talented girl. She tells such a story with art.

[@craigwhipps]

I don't speak the language spoken here, but I speak music and art. I understand and agree with everything said here. And yes, I cried, too. Like this very much, it's just beautiful.

[@bluedanube100]

Reminds me of " Wait for Me" "Wait for me" is one of the best-known of all Russian poems written by Konstantin Simonov in 1941, soon after Hitler's invasion of Russia. In the summer of 1941, Simonov was 25 and already an increasingly successful Soviet poet and playwright. He was passionately in love with the young actress Valentina Serova. When Hitler struck, Simonov received immediate orders to proceed to the front as a war correspondent. Valentina saw him off at the station...

[@arturoborski7159]

I have never seen an Artist conduct a painting with sand before. Her every movement precise, conveying the mood that caries the story... Fabulous skill and innovative historical design... I am in AWE!!!

[@MarioCircello]

Senza parole, arte pura... Kseniya Symonova è bravissima... #KseniyaSymonova - #Symonova - #arte

[@ioytubo]

Strepitosa!

[@HadynsTVdoc]

Beautiful woman, beautiful art. :)

[@umamaheswarnakka6810]

AMAZING KID, TO BE AWARDED NOBLE PEACE PRIZE, SHE RIGHTLY DESERVES THE HONOUR. NO MORE WORDS

[@shae1417]

I never heard of sand art before so I'm blown away. I never knew that people can actually make such beautiful artwork and stories out of sand.. that's truly inspiring.

[@jasoncervantez]

I honestly feel like this is one of if not the most important piece of art in this generation. The passion and urgency in her movements were honestly brutal. The desperation in her hands to make those in the audience feel that every movement she made was purposeful and meant something was one of the most incredible displays of sincerity I've ever had the pleasure to witness.

[@williamgaines5255]

I love this because, while it is about the Ukrainian people and what they went through as a country, and is obviously very personal to them with the uniforms and music and such, every nation that has experienced can relate to this in some way. Cos its not just about WW2, its about all wars, and the devastation and sadness they cause. I applaud this woman

[@SchoolofYule]

The loaded historical narrative content, complex connotations of mark making in the sand and style reminiscent of Marc Chagall give this performance magnificent enchantment.

[@angelaakuaasante2058]

You don't need to understand the language to understand the story line and feel what the lady is doing. Amazing masterpiece. This is art. This is touching. This is too spectacular to be real. Hats off to Kseniya Simonova!

[@MiyaTime]

Very beautiful =)

[@Skysthelimitz]

Just like you

[@KseniyaSimonovaTV]

Друзья! Спасибо за Ваше внимание к моей скромной работе. этой истории уже пять лет, и за это время было создано множество нового. Вы можете увидеть новые песочные истории на моем канале, буду рада комментариям. С уважением, Ксения Симонова

[@MusicForYourMovies]

That's amazing on so many levels, not just artistically but the music choices to, truly great work :D

[@MossyMozart]

My dear Ms Simonova, This video is stunning and deeply moving. But not just because of the invasion of 1941, but from what your country is going through right now at the hands of another malignant force. This performance can just as easily represent the current invasion. Safety is an elusive premium.

[@Faldio100]

7 лет прошло с этого выпуска, и так все изменилось. печально

[@GreenSlugg]

I never thought talent like this would be possible. I will admit that there are things that went over my head. Someone said this is about The Great Patriotic War in Russia?

[@iamlikeasea]

no

[@m308kaa]

It is obviously. There are songs about the Great Patriotic War, famous speech about start of war etcetera.

[@IronDragon1337]

Yeah... Unfortunately I can't speak Russian. :/

[@TheChichola]

+GreenSlugg Wouldn't be easier to call it how we all know it? World War II

[@GreenSlugg]

César Aguirre Much better, thank you!

[@supriyamehra4281]

i watched this thousand times each time i fell in love with this art its beautiful story even if u don't understand language this sand painting speaks ; too sad :(

[@supriyamehra4281]

:-):-):-):-)

[@mikerogers6136]

Such a beautiful talent.I understand about the memory of the war, but surely the beauty of this art can be used for more 'pleasant' things????

[@clapetto]

7:11 "And nothing else matters" By the way it was wonderful.

[@Liist]

Apocalyptica cover.

[@PrecisionTaping]

Amazing!

[@simoninkin9090]

During THAT war all Slavic peoples were UNITED!

[@karlisbaumanis6549]

Simon Inkin Not to mention ''good communism'' starving millions of Ukranians.

[@liquidkameleon]

+VingTsunFANATIC Not all of them. The partisan movement overthrew the nazi satellite state.

[@sindragan4409]

+liquidkameleon Partisans in Croatia were Serbs from Croatia. When German army came to Zagreb (capital of Croatia) people waiting them with flowers.

[@BlackNyasher]

What do you say if i open your eyes and tell you that whole soviet union were starving due to "Продразвёрстка" signed by tzar Nikolai II, and Ukraine suffered the lest than all the rest of country?

[@petyuriy]

wow, what a talent, vision, music . WWII era , very touchy and inspiring for those who understand Russian and history of this time. And this is from Ukraine got talent, I just don't understand how is it possible now Ukraine and Russia got into this situation where only 20 years ago and many more centuries before we were same people, with same history !!! How blind and ignorant we became !!!

[@hildathorrington5618]

Such a talent should be shared

[@Zommymommy]

Mesmerizing

[@user-yy8wf1pz5m]

Великолепно! Очень хочу чтобы мы с Вами были единым народом, как и с белорусами!

[@lorindahines7005]

Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing!

[@hotgiial101]

That was so amazingly talented, but can someone just let me know what she refering to? I didnt really get the storyline

[@Armuotas]

"The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union 1941-1945"

[@alively1955]

***** Thank You for sharing your knowldge! It was so beautiful but I could tell Heartbreaking too!

[@ruthgunneson-poling2477]

Armuotas Thanks for sharing. I knew it was something very significant based on the crowd's reactions but had no clue. :)

[@Enders03]

I was not sure what she was referring to either. I thought it was really good and I got most of the story. I just did not know which war she was telling us about and I figured it was significant to the crowed based on the reactions. Thank you for dropping some knowledge.

[@philchao]

hey *****, here's how you show tact in a comment

[@DrinksMadeEasy]

Holy Cow this is amazing!

[@hofdori]

At 4:50 I outbroke to cry...she's really a professional.. incredible how she can tell the world wards' horrors with simple figures in sand perfectly following the music.. and there are people still alive who went through this... my grandmom still can cry if she remembers when her oldder brohter was takent into labour camp by russians.. in Budapest, as a memento, there are still buildings with world war wounds to REMEMBER. And we established the Terror House Museum which tells the whole story. People, whoever come to visit Budapest, this museum is a must-see..

[@emilie131]

Creativity beyond words. I could not stop watching.

[@danhoffman1910]

symphony version of nothing else matters by Metallica at 7:00 for the win!

[@spacepl1]

Russia sacrificed a lot in WW II (they call it the Great Patriotic War). They alone lost an estimated 22 million people, only 9 million being military. Many of those lost were men, causing an extreme population fall afterwards, and many families lost fathers, brothers, cousins, and uncles. Though WW II is so long ago to the younger generations here in the US or even in Europe, the war is still 'fresh' in the mind of Russia. It is a celebration of their victory, but it is also a solemn remembrance of those who were lost.

[@willidenovitz1555]

+Plamen Markov 05:04

[@spacepl1]

Yes, USSR i meant.

[@willidenovitz1555]

***** They veterans are happy that just survived.

[@spacepl1]

:) fucking Russia ?!?!!? .... you will see how good is in EU and NATO .... you will cry and scream for good old USSR ... believe me .... good luck in EU.

[@EmporioZuagroast]

excellent use of apocalyptica in this

[@startzkate]

Это высший пилотаж!❤️

[@dmytrovasylyk547]

Покажите это видео россиянам, поддерживающим военные действия в Украине направленные против нас, "нацистов". Это не мы, это вы осквернили память этой великой победы! Что с вами, люди, очнитесь вы, наконец!

[@amhadash]

Ксения из Евпатории, Крым, сейчас она россиянка и не думаю, что поддерживает варвар кое крушение памятников героям-освободителям, а вы?

[@dmytrovasylyk547]

​​@@amhadashЯ ни в коем случае не поддерживаю варварское крушение памятников героям-освободителям и не знаю таких прецедентов, по крайней мере в своём родном Харькове. Смотря на реакцию киевлян на это выступление, то думаю, что они такое тоже вряд ли могли бы поддержать. Вопрос тут в другом, до 2022 года никто не мог подумать, что российский народ будет поддерживать варварское крушение наших городов в том числе городов-героев ВОВ Вашей "доблестной" армией... А теперь у многих людей перевернулось всё в голове. Потому что когда сегодня на наши города летят российские ракеты, а Германия и другие страны-союзники выделяют помощь, чтобы наша страна не погибла, то я не понимаю за что погибали наши с Вами деды-прадеды...

[@KseniyaSimonovaTV]

Dear Friends! I am happy to present you my new art-project called "Another story". It is an exhibition of my artworks created in 2006-2014 (165 pictures) and the presentation of my book "Another Story". The exhibition will open in Simferopol on 20th May at 14;00 and will be exposured for a month till 20th June. The book will be presented on May, 27th. You can see the demo of the exhibition on my channel.

[@obiwan4732]

*The ultimate purpose of art is to bring people into the present. Good art forces you into the present, because it can only be seen in the present*. Andy Warhol showed with his famous soup can picture that anything can be art if you look at it with your total attention. *Life is art, but people do not see it, that is why we need a higher awareness of how life really works and what our true purpose is*. Google *TruthContest read the Present*, it explains the big picture of life in every facet, it explains how life works, the nature of everything. It will change your view on life thus your mind in the best way possible.

[@trippygiphy6127]

interesting perspective..

[@romko-romario]

Everything you encounter "can only be seen in present", every sentiment you feel, each of you thoughts "forces you into the present", because all the stuff happens exactly now. So, your words can be applied to totally everything :)

[@Halichika]

Years later I am still in awe and wonder and just awe-struck at how magnificent this is. це супер!

[@MrPuffer321]

This is amazing! But I could not exactly tell what the story was. Could someone tell me? I have a guess but I do not know if it is correct.

[@omario7]

it's about war in general, but specifically about World War 2, i think :)

[@MrPuffer321]

Thanks! :D

[@adrianareyes2197]

my teacher is from Ukraine and she translated it, it is about WWII and how the soviet union lost a lot of people during the war. It is called white dove soul or something like that.

This video tell's the story of Ukraine in 1941-1945. For those of you who think that Russia did all the job you are very wrong. Ukraine lost 5 million people defeating the Axis and they do deserve to be named
