Kseniya Simonova (born 1985) is a
sand animator from Ukraine. She started drawing with sand after her business
collapsed due to the early 21st century credit crunch and had been drawing
for less than a year when she entered Ukraine's Got Talent. She became
the 2009 Winner of Ukraine's Got Talent, constructing an animation that
portrayed life during USSR's Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich in
World War II.
Simonova won 1,000,000 Ukraninan Hryvnia (approx. USD125,000) for her first place in the show.
