Kseniya Simonova (Ксения Симонова) (born 1985) is a sand animator from Ukraine. She started drawing with sand after her business collapsed due to the 2008 financial crisis, and had less than a year's experience when she entered Ukraine's Got Talent.[1] She became the 2009 winner of that show,[2] constructing an animation that portrayed life during the USSR's Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich in World War II.
Simonova won 1,000,000 Ukrainian Hryvnia (approx. USD125,000) for her first place in the show.[3] A YouTube video of the performance has received more than 13 million hits.[4]
