Salvatore Benintende (born 16 July 1980), known by the pseudonym TVBoy (rendered with various capitalisations), is an Italian neo-pop street artist.
He is known for his murals depicting footballers and current affairs, particularly George Floyd following his murder, Vladimir Putin following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and Alexia Putellas following her first Ballon d'Or Féminin win.
[4][5] Some of his art is dedicated to local icons, including painting Montserrat Caballé and Pau Donés after their deaths.
In Barcelona, next to his mural of Putellas is one of a Ukrainian flag bearing the word "hope" with an image of a girl making its letter "O" into a peace symbol, and on one panel in Plaça Sant Jaume, the centre of Catalonia, he has created and updated various murals, depicting images including Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy calling for an end to war; children planting a peace flag on a Russian tank; and Russian president Vladimir Putin incarcerated.
[3] In January 2023, he was invited by humanitarian organisation Cesvi to travel to Bucha and Irpin in Ukraine's Kyiv oblast, sites of the Bucha massacre and Battle of Irpin, to create art to bring positivity as the nation approached a year of war.
