Avi Tal was born in 1986 in Beer-Sheva, Israel, to parents who fled persecution in the final years of the Soviet Union.

He grew up in the desert.
He found spray cans at sixteen.
He never stopped.
What followed was not a career.
It was a discipline.

Two decades of working exclusively by hand—no projectors, no stencils, no delegation of the vision to anyone else.

A decade building model aircraft before ever touching a wall at scale, studying aerodynamics and structural integrity the way a painter studies light.

An engineering mind applied to surfaces that have no right angles and no margins for error.

From 2009 to 2012, he lived in the Netherlands, painting across Europe and upgrading his formal art education.

Returning to Israel, he partnered with the Neot Hovav Regional Council and transformed an industrial complex in the Negev—over 2,500 square meters of mural work on a landscape most people drive past without looking.

On March 1, 2016, he stood alone outside Dimona's soccer stadium and painted 2,038.96 square meters of its exterior walls.

By hand.

With spray cans.

Guinness World Records confirmed what he already knew—it had never been done before.

In 2019 his work anchored the facade of a four-story building at POP-UP MUSEUM TLV. In 2024 he became the first artist in Israel to paint a full aircraft—a Skyvan—using spray cans alone.

Alongside the monumental, there is the intimate.

Over fifteen memorial spaces built for the Ethiopian Jewish community, each one a physical act of preservation—history translated into material form so it cannot be forgotten.

Avi Tal works under the name Spine B7.

The name is a street tag.

The work is something else entirely.
