The sand drawings of Kseniya Simonova ... it will leave you speechless.

Quite a talent. I'm not sure how valid considering the transient nature. Anyone know if she makes any effort to preserve any of her sand art?

Still, intrigueing to watch. Hard to stop watching.
 
Seen in it's correct context as entertainment, it is 'Ukraine's Got Talent' after all, she's pretty amazing.

Who said it was meant to be art ... she's more a very skillfull performer I would have thought?

Exactly. It was not "Ukraine's next top artist". Knew this video already but was interesting to watch again. The performace was good and she hit the nerves of the people with the theme (I assume it was a 2nd world war story from a ukraine point of view).
 
I am very impressed by the performance to say the least.

RFF is a tough place when any references to "art" are made. I won't bother making any arguments. As long as I like it (and I did).

Thanks for the link and the eye-opener Keith.

So it's not crap because it was shown in the context of "Ukraine's Got Talent"? I don't know about the Ukrainian version but usually these talent shows are pretty crappy to begin with :)

Anyways, I do get your point about it being entertainment and not art and I guess it is entertaining to a certain degree. But the problem is that the novelty factor wears off pretty quickly and after that it's just an old party trick.

I'm not sure that she's pretty amazing but she surely is pretty. (And yes, I'm aware of the misogynistic nature of reducing a woman who wants to be recognized for her skill to her looks.)
 
I dont'know if it is art or not. But what I know is that I enjoyed very much to see this "performance" . Thanks Keith for let us know this video.

I have seen it before on Youtube. Touching story-telling using sand-art. The background music created the mood. Her performance was very well-crafted.
