Kseniya Simonova makes New Year snow animation (VIDEO)
"This is an experimental technique, which I have been mastering over some time. I can say that my dream – to draw with snow – has come true, – smiles Kseniya Simonova. - I must say, for the moment this technique fascinates me completely, it allows me to reveal my snow soul. It is very much winter-like, in fact, this is painting of winter, my favourite season," writes Kseniya.
The music for this video was written by the talented musician from Kyrgyzstan Askhat Noruzbaev.
"I like the song "Magical week of December" written by Askhat Noruzbaev very much. I would like to celebrate the New Year to it as the song creates a light and bright mood. Dear Friends, I want you to meet this New Time happy. Whatever happens, please find the strength to breathe out – to remove from your shoulders backpacks – of soldiers, travellers, workers – whatever," she wishes.
"Take off the backpack – it will be here to stay lying quietly under the Christmas tree for as long as you do not think of it. Straighten the shoulders, pull yourself up ... up, up ... do you feel? Yes, it is a star. Take it - it does not matter, from the ceiling or from space. Take and look in the middle. Within each of the stars is ... the mirror. And it should reflect your happy face," says Kseniya.
And…"Happy New Year! Hooray!" – writes the artist in her blog.
