A private view in Nice
Nice has a history of painters: Matisse lived and worked here, and the School of Nice, with Yves Klein, was born here. Private views are now found in the municipal galleries of the old town, at the Ponchettes on the quai des États-Unis or at the galerie de la Marine, and on the Saint-Barthélemy hill, where the Villa Arson brings together an art school and a contemporary art centre. During a private view, Giulia Dal Bon paints in the room while visitors discover the exhibition: her easel stands away from the walls, in a corner chosen with the gallery. The subject can answer the works on the walls, the venue itself or the music of the evening. Giulia is a painter first, and she shows her paintings in art galleries: the evening belongs to the works on show, which keep all their light.
Nice through the year
Nice lives to the rhythm of its dates. In February the Carnival fills the city, with its flower battles on the Promenade des Anglais; in June comes the fête de la musique, then Ironman France Nice, whose marathon ends on the Promenade des Anglais; in July, the Nice Jazz Festival, born in 1948; in November, the Nice-Cannes marathon. In autumn, international congresses are held in Nice, from medicine to industry. Around those dates, hotels, villas and brands receive their guests in the evening, and a live painting gives those evenings a moment the guests take the time to watch, and a canvas that stays with the host or the brand. Giulia speaks Italian, French, English and Spanish: guests who have come a long way talk to her in their own language.
A private party in Nice
For a birthday, a dinner or a family celebration, Giulia Dal Bon paints live in the place you have chosen: an apartment facing the Promenade des Anglais, a villa in Cimiez or on Mont Boron, the terrace of a building in the old town, a boat moored in the port of Lympia. She paints what makes your evening: the Baie des Anges, the laid table, the rooftops of the old town, or the guests themselves, in watercolour, each one leaving with their portrait. By the end of the party the painting is finished and signed, and it stays with you. The page about live painting for a private party sets out every format.
A brand evening, a hotel, a shop in Nice
For the launch of a collection, the opening of a shop or an evening in a hotel salon, Giulia paints in front of your guests a canvas that tells the story of the brand: the flagship product, the material, the logo slipped into the composition, the colours of the house. In Nice, receptions are held in places such as the salons of the Villa Masséna, of the Hôtel Negresco or of the Palais de la Méditerranée, on the Promenade des Anglais. Giulia studied graphic design at the Brera Academy and draws lettering by hand: the name of the brand can be written on the canvas. She prepares the subject before the day, from your references, and shows it in a sketch; then the canvas stays with the brand, with an invoice in the company’s name. For an opening or the private view of a new venue, the page on live painting for a grand opening or a private view explains everything; for a seminar or a convention, the one on corporate live painting in Nice.
A concert, a stage in Nice
Giulia has already painted live in Nice: at the fête de la musique, in 2025, with Orlando at the piano. On a stage or on a terrace, the painting follows the pieces one after another, and the canvas is revealed when the last note fades. When an evening calls for a big moment, Orlando & Giulia offer the piano and painting show: Orlando plays a neoclassical repertoire, in the line of Ludovico Einaudi or Hania Rani, and Giulia paints to the rhythm of the music; she can also paint the canvas upside down and turn it over at the end, for the theatrical effect. For a concert or a festival, the dedicated page sets out the programme.
Nice and the French Riviera
Giulia also paints for a wedding on the French Riviera, for a company evening in Nice, and on the walls of the city: the mural in Nice. Around Nice, she travels to Cannes, to Monaco and to Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
In practice, in Nice
In Nice as elsewhere, the length is decided with you, from about twenty minutes to a whole evening. Giulia brings the canvas, the colours and the easel, protects the floor around her and paints in odourless acrylic, in a corner of a gallery, a hotel salon or a terrace, with a little light in the evening. She performs live paintings in Nice, on the French Riviera and all over Europe: travel and logistics are agreed together in the quote.
Over several dates. If the format suits you, Giulia comes back: a series of private views, a whole season or a residency of a few days. The quote is then made for the whole, and you set the dates together.
Your questions, before booking
What does a live painting cost in Nice?
In Nice, a live painting starts at 400 €: the live performance, at a private view, a private party or a concert, lasts as long as you like. Watercolour portraits of the guests start at 500 €. For a brand evening or a shop, the canvas of the evening starts at 900 €, invoiced to the company. Giulia Dal Bon’s quote is free within 48 hours, and travel is agreed together.
Can Giulia paint live at a private view in a gallery in the old town of Nice?
Yes. In a gallery in the old town, on the Saint-Barthélemy hill or in any other district of Nice, Giulia Dal Bon paints while visitors discover the exhibition. Her easel stands in a corner chosen with the gallery, away from the walls, and the canvas moves forward as the evening goes on. For a gallery, the performance starts at 400 €, free quote within 48 hours.
Can Giulia come to a private party in a villa in Cimiez or an apartment on the Promenade des Anglais?
Yes. A corner about two metres wide is enough for Giulia Dal Bon’s easel, with a little light if the party is in the evening, in a villa as in an apartment. She paints in odourless acrylic, protects the floor and paints the bay, the terrace, the table or the guests. The performance starts at 400 €, free quote within 48 hours.
Can Giulia paint at an evening around the Carnival or the Nice Jazz Festival?
Yes, at the evening you organise: a reception in a hotel, a villa or a showroom. Around those dates, Giulia Dal Bon paints during the evening, in front of your guests, and the canvas stays with the host or the brand. The length is decided with you, from about twenty minutes to a whole evening. The performance starts at 400 €, free quote within 48 hours.
Has Giulia already painted live in Nice?
Yes: at the fête de la musique in Nice, in 2025, with Orlando at the piano. At sunset in Cap-d’Ail, she also painted while Orlando played, in September 2025. Her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can be seen in Milan.
Can the piano and painting show take place in Nice?
Yes, in a hall, on a terrace or in the garden of a villa. Orlando plays the piano, Giulia Dal Bon paints while he plays, and the painting is revealed at the last note. The show is prepared with the venue, and its price is given in a quote.
What happens to the canvas after the evening?
At the end of the evening the canvas is finished and signed, and it goes home with you. It can also stay in the place it portrays, if the gallery, the brand or the host wishes: a painting dated from the evening, which the guests recognise when they come back. A very large format is finished in the studio, and the delivery date is written in the quote.
In which languages can the evening be organised with Giulia?
In Italian, French, English and Spanish. Giulia Dal Bon speaks all four, which matters in Nice, where guests come from several countries. The quote is free within 48 hours.
How does booking work?
Write to Giulia Dal Bon, on WhatsApp or by email, with the date, the venue and the occasion. She replies within 48 hours with a free quote; you then choose the format and the subject together, and she prepares the composition if needed. On the day she paints in front of your guests, and the signed painting is yours that same day. The deposit is paid at confirmation. In Nice, the performance starts at 400 €.
