Do you remember the information that recently appeared that Kyiv was decorated with the graffiti of the scandalously famous English underground artist Banksy? He devoted his acutely social works to the war in Ukraine. Italian street artist Salvatore Benintende, who works under the pseudonym TVBOY, visited the streets of Kyiv, Bucha and Irpin.
The messages he left are the hope that the war will end very soon. This is an understanding and emphasis on the courage of the people fighting for their state, their land.
Here is a story about one of his works. Salvatore Benintende painted a haloed girl with a STOP sign in blue and yellow colors on one of Bucci's shops. He did this after the story of a resident of this city, who lost her 8-year-old daughter during the bombings. And she decided to adopt a child who lost her parents because of the war.
TVboy wanted to support the residents of Buchi with his murals. Since he comes from Palermo, a warm and sunny Italian town, it is from there that he brought some of the works that can now be seen on the streets of the community. As if he shared particles of heat...
It seems to me that such works not only additionally attract the attention of the world community to the war in Ukraine, but also show Ukrainians that they are not alone in this struggle.
