Early life and family

She was born on April 22, 1985 in Yevpatoria, a town on the Crimean peninsula, in Ukraine, which was then a part of the Soviet Union. Her mother, Irina Simonova, is an artist, a theatrical designer and teacher of fine arts. Her father, Alexander Simonov, is a former military officer who runs a business in furniture design. Since she was a child, Kseniya painted, drew and designed with her mother.

Kseniya’s parents discouraged her from a career as an artist. Kseniya explained, "It is a constant struggle. I knew that, and was ready for it. If you chose this profession, you're struggling all your life. You do not enjoy everyday life - like comfort, and buying furniture... You're always looking for something more, and actually, I was never interested in a life of comfort and buying furniture."

In 2007, she married Igor Paskar,[4] a theatre director, journalist and magazine editor. Their son Dmitry was born on November 27, 2007, their son Serafim was born on July 20, 2014.

Education

She graduated from the Artistic School of Yevpatoria and studied in the School of Fine Arts. At school, Kseniya wrote research papers on English folk poetry and 15th and 16th century English folk songs and ballads. She also translated folk poetry and great poets like William Shakespeare, Robert Burns and George Gordon Byron. For her research work, Kseniya earned entrance to any University in Ukraine with English Philology Departments. In 2002, Kseniya chose a psychology major and graduated in 2007 from the Tavrida National V.I. Vernadsky University with honors.

Career

Since 2006 Kseniya has been working for a magazine "Crimean Riviera" as an artist. In 2007, Kseniya and her husband Igor Paskar, launched a bilingual magazine "Chocolate" in English and Russian. The magazine stopped production in 2008 due to the financial crisis.

Sand animation

Sand performance was suggested by her husband. Initially, Simonova was unsure, but she decided to try it in the absence of other viable options to improve their financial situation. When tests with both beach and river sands proved unsuitable, Simonova's husband began researching better options on the internet. He sold his printing equipment to buy 3 kilograms of expensive volcanic sand.

Simonova began experimenting with the medium at night, after serving as a full-time mother throughout the day. She found it challenging, but persisted in spite of early impulses to give up. Physically grueling, the art form required her standing for long periods of time and also required her to retrain her vision to adapt to the unique medium.

"Ukraine's Got Talent"

Her husband, Igor, suggested that she should enter the competition Ukraine's Got Talent, where the prize was one million hryvna, the equivalent of $110,000. Kseniya decided to enter.[6]

The sand story Kseniya presented live on TV[8] was an eight-minute story of a young couple separated by the war.[9]

In an interview she said, "It was so emotionally hard, and I now still can not think about those minutes without pain... My hands were dying and reviving making the images."[6][9]

Kseniya was hoping to get some exposure as an artist, but it became much more. The audience was moved to tears. As soon as she finished her performance, applause erupted and she received a standing ovation.[6]

Kseniya passed the semi-finals and moved on to the finals. In the third round, she performed a sand story "Don't be too late!"[10] about a son who became successful and forgot his parents. The aim of her sand story was to remind the grown children of their parents and to encourage them to call.[6]

Kseniya was declared the winner of the competition and collected 100,000 euro. The Guardian Called her Online phenomenon after the video of her performance was viewed more than 2 million times on YouTube. After the competition, she became an international artist performer and began giving sand art performances in different countries of the world.

Philanthropy

In June 2008, Simonova and her husband Igor Paskar founded a local open charity organization "Live, my Sun!" («Живи, Солнышко!»). The organization provides assistance to ill children in need of treatment, material and information support of cancer patients.[49] Most of the work done by it is creating films in sand animation about the people who need treatment and sharing the films in networks. The purpose of these short animated films is to tell others about those who need help, who can not afford expensive treatment or rehabilitation. In the period from 2009 to 2016, Simonova was created over 50 charity films.[84]

From 2010 to 2013, Simonova helped Simferopol city orphanage house until its disbandment in late 2013.

Simonova is an anti-abortion advocate. Before winning the show Ukraine’s Got Talent she worked as an anti-abortion volunteer, organizing lectures and showing films in the protection of life and against abortions in schools of Yevpatoriya. After winning the show, Kseniya decided to use her fame to speak in defense of life through the art of sand animation. The sand films Do not kill me, Mom! (2009) and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0WUo8AQdIA Thank you, Mummy!] (2013) were created against abortions.

Collaboration with brands

Since 2010, Simonova has created over 20 adverticement films in sand animation for big international companies, among them Ferrari,[85][86] Lincoln, Volkswagen.[87] In fashion sphere Simonova created films and live performances in sand animation for Dior, Ermenegildo Zegna, Puma. In April 2011 Simonova created a sand story «Lady Dior Moscow»[30] for Christian Dior and performed it in real-time, at gala opening of Dior-themed exhibition in Moscow,[31] having received appreciation by the fashion expers and Russian top-model Natalia Vodianova. In 2013, the film appeared in the 15 best fashion short films according to Paste Magazine.[32]

In 2010 she shot a sand animation adverticement film for The Sunday Times.[88]

In 2012, Simonova supported by Puma created series of sand animation short films called [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54UIsTMMn1g Dreamcatcher] about live and early dreams of prominent football players – Cesc Fàbregas,[89] Tomas Rosicky, Giorgio Cellini and Gianluigi Buffon.[90] For this, she met these players in their native places and interviewed them.[91] During the interviews, she sketched their faces and expression, portrayed their childhood dreams in her sketchbook, and after that brought their stories into sand. Simonova and Puma presented these films during UEFA Euro 2012 in Ukraine at national TV channels and in Internet.[92]

She was also invited to perform live at more than 300 events of international brands in different countries of the world.

Current projects

Since 2013 she has been working on the show "White era" where she is planning to use all her skills in all animation techniques.[49]

In 2016 she used sand art to illustrate the opening sequence in season 1, episode 3 of Netflix’s “Midnight Sun” (“Midnattsol”).

In 2017, Simonova began working on The Forgotten Kingdom — Sand Stories [93] with the Guy Mendilow Ensemble,[94] with multiple funding awards from the National Endowment for the Arts[55] and The Boston Foundation.[95] The Forgotten Kingdom — Sand Stories conjures women's voices lost to war and upheaval. Folding radio drama-style storytelling into a top-tier world music concert, the Guy Mendilow Ensemble’s sweeping arrangements and storytelling are brought to life by Kseniya Simonova who creates, obliterates, and morphs sand images in a flowing narrative.
