Murals shaped for Andalusia
In Seville, the Triana quarter has painted ceramics for centuries: in 1929, for the Ibero-American Exposition, the Plaza de España received twelve thousand square metres of painted azulejos, with forty-eight decorated benches, one for every Spanish province. In Andalusia, the painted wall is a public art.
What Giulia brings. Giulia is a painter, trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries and also paints on walls. Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have written about her work, and her mural of over twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can be seen in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.
In Andalusia, Giulia also paints live in front of an audience: a wedding, a concert or a company evening. The canvas starts blank and ends signed, ready to hang. From 950 € for a wedding, from 900 € for a company evening, from 400 € for a performance at a concert. See live painting →
Andalusia between azulejos and patios
Here colour on walls has been a habit for centuries, from the patios of Córdoba to the facades of Triana.
Houses and villas
Living rooms, bedrooms, entrances, verandas and ceilings in old-town houses and villas. Example: a 10 m² living room wall fully painted, around €2,500.
Hotels, restaurants and shops
Hotels, restaurants, bars and shops, often in older buildings with high ceilings. Example: a 15 m² wall fully painted, around €3,750.
Facades and exterior walls
Near the sea salt is a real factor and the sun is strong: exteriors are painted in quartz paint, with anti-salt varnish on request. From €150 per m², plus scaffolding if needed.
Your questions, before commissioning
A photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and the idea you have in mind are enough to receive a quote.
How much does a mural cost in Andalusia?
Giulia Dal Bon paints by the square metre: 150 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, 250 € for a fully painted subject, 350 € for trompe-l’oeil or a ceiling. A small mural in a bedroom costs less than a facade that needs preparation and scaffolding. The quote is free: see all prices.
How does it work to have a wall painted shaped for Andalusia?
Write to Giulia Dal Bon on WhatsApp or by email, even if the idea is still vague: she replies within 48 hours. Send her a photo of the wall to be painted, she draws a sketch straight onto your photo, you tell her what you think, and the first two sketches are free. Once the sketch is approved, she sends you the quote, from 150 € per sqm shaped for Andalusia, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place shaped for Andalusia, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
Can an Andalusian landscape be painted on a wall?
Yes. The Giralda in Seville, the Plaza de España and its 12,000 sqm of azulejos laid for the 1929 exhibition, the forty-eight provincial benches, the flowered patios of Santa Cruz, the orange trees in the streets, the Triana ceramics that supplied the whole of Andalusia through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Alhambra above Granada, the mosque-cathedral of Córdoba. Giulia Dal Bon paints all of it with a brush, on site. The price follows the technique: 150 € per sqm as a line drawing, 250 € for a fully painted view.
What does a mural quote shaped for Andalusia cover?
The square-metre price Giulia Dal Bon quotes includes the paint and materials, the first two sketches and the protective varnish as a finish. While she paints, you tell her what you think, and she adjusts. Added to the quote, when needed, are the scaffolding for a facade and travel costs, agreed together. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours; a deposit of about 100 € for materials confirms the date, and the balance is settled at the end.
What kind of mural works well in Andalusia?
In old-town houses and villas, a botanical motif, a landscape or a perspective trompe-l’oeil work well on pale render. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
Does it damage the wall?
The paint goes onto the plaster already in place. Dusting it down is usually enough. If the surface has cracks or rising damp, Giulia flags it before quoting.
Can I see the design before saying yes?
Always. You get a sketch mounted on the photo of your wall, to scale, with the quote. You confirm whenever you are ready, and she adjusts the design with you.
What subject works well for a mural in Andalusia?
The subjects that work here: floral and botanical work for bedrooms and living rooms, landscapes for living spaces and terraces, trompe l’oeil for facades and ceilings. Everything is drawn to measure: Giulia offers two free sketches from your idea, and you refine it together until the subject is yours. If you are still choosing the subject of your mural in Andalusia, the guide What subject to choose for a mural reviews the options room by room.
What is the difference between a hand-painted mural and spray-painted graffiti?
Two gestures, two finishes. The spray can gives a fast, graphic line. The brush lays colour down layer after layer, which opens up gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil: the mural becomes a painting on the wall. In Andalusia, Giulia Dal Bon works with a brush, in odourless acrylic indoors, and the place stays open while she paints. The choice comes down to the finish you are after.
What do you call an artist who paints on walls?
A muralist, a mural artist or a decorative painter. In Andalusia, Giulia Dal Bon paints by hand with a brush, from apartments to façades: trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, she exhibits her paintings in art galleries and also paints on walls. The same searches go through wall mural, hand-painted wall or wall art. Send a photo of your wall, and the quote arrives within 48 hours.
Does a mural hold up outdoors in Andalusia?
Yes, with surface preparation and quartz paint, made for outdoor walls. The sun is strong and near the sea the air is salty: an anti-salt varnish is added on request.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Andalusia?
An interior wall can be painted freely. For a facade visible from the street, you usually need the owner’s or the building association’s approval, and a notice to the town hall if the building is in a protected area. Giulia explains the process before starting.
How long does it take to paint a mural?
It depends on the surface, the level of detail and how easy the wall is to reach. Giulia gives the timing with the quote, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves. The place keeps running while she works: the acrylic is odourless.
How long does a mural last?
The murals Giulia Dal Bon paints last a lifetime indoors: the paint becomes part of the plaster and lives as long as the wall. Outdoors, quartz paint is made for facades, and an anti-salt or anti-pollution varnish extends it further. And if one day you want a change, it can be painted over like any wall paint.

Homes and villas
Village houses, sea-facing apartments, entryways, staircases, and rooms where color can make the wall feel warmer and more alive.
Hotels, restaurants, and boutiques
Restaurants, small hotels, boutiques, and places that want atmosphere while keeping the honesty of the material and the light.
A mural made for this place
Other places naturally included in Andalusia
Within this Andalusian axis, Granada and Córdoba also belong, with the same continuity of homes, patios, hotels, facades and passage spaces where painting meets lime and light.
Granada
Granada belongs here when the mural involves Albaicín houses, patios, hotels and venues in the centre.
Córdoba
Córdoba belongs to the same group for patio houses, flowering courtyards, hotels and whitewashed walls.
One continuous coast
The method stays the same across this part of Andalusia: the mural begins from the real surface, the way the wall is seen, the rhythm of the place, and the way people move through it.

Where Giulia works in Andalusia
In Andalusia, whether it is a house, a villa, a second home or a flat, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the children’s bedroom and the bedroom. The same work applies to the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell. A ceiling is painted the same way, from the scaffold. Outside, on the exterior facade and the garden wall, she works in quartz paint. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Andalusia, the painted wall is visible from every table. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the shop window and the shutter, a front you recognise from down the street. In a hotel and a B&B, she paints reception, the stairwell and the bedrooms. In a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the treatment-room walls and the reception area. In a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the waiting room and the corridor leading to it. In an office and a showroom, she paints the wall you see on the way in, and the one at the far end. A cellar is painted too, right down its stairs.
A wall can carry a landscape, a floral or botanical motif, lettering, a painted sign. A ceiling takes a sky. A perspective trompe-l’oeil opens a window or a corridor on a solid wall. Giulia also paints figures and animals, and reproduces a work on request.
Possible subjects in Andalusia: the painted azulejos of Triana, the patios and their orange trees, the white facades and the wrought-iron grilles. And always the trompe-l’oeil window, the botanical motif and the painted sky on a ceiling.
The craft goes by several names, and each of them is right about something. Mural and wall mural speak of the wall, wall decoration and mural decoration speak of the room, decorative painting speaks of the gesture, trompe-l’oeil speaks of the effect. A hand-painted wall, a drawing on a wall, a painting made directly on the wall: still the same thing. In Andalusia, it is called a mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist, a decorative painter.
Andalusia runs from Seville to the Costa del Sol, with patios, azulejos and whitewashed walls where colour is a public art: tall packed houses, trompe-l’oeil painted facades, seafront shops.
Giulia also travels to Seville, to Malaga, to Marbella and to Sotogrande.
She also works in Granada, Córdoba, Cádiz, Ronda, Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, Tarifa, Vejer de la Frontera, Estepona, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Nerja, Frigiliana, Mijas, Antequera, Úbeda, Baeza, Almería, Mojácar and Huelva.
