Kseniya Simonova (born 1985 as Ксения Симонова) 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.[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.
