Murals in Auvers-sur-Oise
Auvers-sur-Oise stretches along the river, between the houses by the water and the slopes planted with orchards. Giulia Dal Bon paints a dining-room wall, the low ceiling of an old house, the front of a barn or the back wall of a guest room, with the greens and ochres of the village.
In 1861 Charles-François Daubigny had his studio house built in Auvers-sur-Oise and decided to paint its walls. With his friends Corot, Daumier and Oudinot, and his children Karl and Cécile, he covered the entrance, the dining room and the bedrooms with images: about two hundred square metres of painted walls, still in place, and the house has carried the Maison des Illustres label since 2014.
Twenty-nine years later, in 1890, Van Gogh painted the church, the fields and the roofs of Auvers-sur-Oise. The village therefore holds both traditions: the canvas you carry away and the wall you paint at home. Giulia Dal Bon does both, and in Auvers-sur-Oise she paints the wall.
The houses of Auvers-sur-Oise are low, in stone and pale render, with exposed beams and rooms that stay cool: a frieze painted under the beam or a scheme above a fireplace does more there than a large subject. On the slopes, the newer houses have solid walls and conservatories open to the orchards, and the painted landscape carries on the garden. Along the Oise, barn walls and lean-tos hold quartz paint well.
In Auvers-sur-Oise, guest houses, restaurants by the water and studios welcome visitors who came for painting: a mural in the dining room or in a bedroom carries on the reason for their trip. Giulia Dal Bon paints the wheat, the orchards, the church and the boats, with a brush, in the colours of the village. She can also paint a movable panel, when the wall belongs to someone else.
The subjects come from the city itself: the church and its apse, the wheat fields above the village, the Oise and its boats, the orchards in blossom, the roofs by the water, a botanical motif for a bedroom
.What Giulia brings to Auvers-sur-Oise. 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 covered her work, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci stands in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.
Giulia also paints live in Auvers-sur-Oise. For a wedding, a concert, a festival or a company evening, she sets up her easel and the painting takes shape in front of your guests, signed and taken home the same evening. From 950 € for a wedding, from 900 € for a company evening, from 400 € for a performance at a concert. For a wedding, see live wedding painting in the Paris region.

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 Auvers-sur-Oise?
Giulia Dal Bon’s price is per 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 in Auvers-sur-Oise?
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 in Auvers-sur-Oise, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Auvers-sur-Oise, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote in Auvers-sur-Oise cover?
Giulia Dal Bon’s price per square metre includes the paint and materials, the first two sketches, corrections during the work and the protective varnish as a finish. 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.
Can I see the design before saying yes?
Yes. Before any agreement, Giulia shows you the sketch on a photo of your wall, with a detailed price. Two free sketches are proposed to you before you confirm, and she adjusts them with you.
What kind of mural works well in Auvers-sur-Oise?
The old houses of Auvers-sur-Oise call for more than a small motif: a scheme running along a whole dining-room wall, a frieze under a beam, a sky on the ceiling, a false window opening onto the fields. With a brush, in odourless acrylic.
Does it damage the wall?
The wall stays intact. Acrylic bonds to a painted or plastered wall, which keeps its finish and needs only a light preparation. And if you change your mind in ten years, a roller of paint covers it.
Can a view of Auvers-sur-Oise be painted on a wall?
Yes, and it holds up well on a large wall. The church and its apse, the fields above the village, the Oise and its boats, the roofs and the sloping gardens. Giulia Dal Bon paints it with a brush, on site. The price follows the technique: 150 € per sqm as a line drawing, 250 € for a fully painted view. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Auvers-sur-Oise?
The most requested subjects: 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 Auvers-sur-Oise, 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?
They are two different crafts. A graffiti artist works with spray cans, with a fast gesture and a graphic finish. A brush-painted mural is built layer by layer, which allows gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil: it is a painting made directly on the wall. Indoors, Giulia uses odourless acrylic. And while she paints, people take the time to watch: a brush at work is a show in itself. The choice depends on the finish you are after.
What do you call an artist who paints on walls?
A mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist or a decorative painter, and the art itself is called mural painting or wall art. Some come from graffiti and work with spray cans; Giulia Dal Bon comes from painting: trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, she exhibits her paintings in art galleries and paints commissioned murals with a brush. To have one painted, send her a photo of your wall: free quote within 48 hours.
Does a mural hold up outdoors in Auvers-sur-Oise?
Yes. On a garden wall, a barn wall or a gable in Auvers-sur-Oise, Giulia Dal Bon prepares the surface, waits for a dry wall and mild weather, then paints in quartz paint, made for facades.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Auvers-sur-Oise?
For an indoor wall you are free. For a facade visible from the street, you need the agreement of the owner, and a prior declaration at the Auvers-sur-Oise town hall: the village has several protected buildings. Giulia explains the steps before she starts.
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?
An acrylic mural lasts 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. In Auvers-sur-Oise, on a façade exposed to traffic, Giulia can also propose an anti-pollution paint, which turns part of the nitrogen oxides under daylight. The option is priced in the quote.
Can an old painted scheme be restored in Auvers-sur-Oise?
Yes. Giulia Dal Bon studied restoration at the Brera Academy, and Auvers-sur-Oise offers the example with Daubigny’s studio house, whose painted walls are kept and shown to the public. On a private scheme she cleans, consolidates and repaints only what is missing, after a test on a sample area.

Where Giulia works in Auvers-sur-Oise
In Auvers-sur-Oise, for a private client, in 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. The ceiling is painted too: that is the €350 per sqm band, with trompe-l’oeil. Outdoors, she uses quartz paint on the exterior facade and the garden wall, with a protective varnish to finish. She also paints on a mobile panel, to carry the painting elsewhere.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Auvers-sur-Oise, the room stays open while she paints: the acrylic is odourless. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the window, the shutter and the back wall. In a hotel and a B&B, she paints the lobbies, the corridors and the rooms. 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. For an office and a showroom, she paints reception, the corridor and the meeting room. A vaulted cellar takes the same paint, right up to the ceiling.
From the centre around the church to the slopes, from the banks of the Oise to the hamlet of Chaponval, Giulia paints all over Auvers-sur-Oise.
Possible subjects in Auvers-sur-Oise: the church and its apse, the wheat fields above the village, the Oise and its boats, the orchards in blossom, the roofs by the water, a botanical motif for a bedroom.
A mural is also called a wall mural, an artistic painting on a wall, a wall decoration. People say mural decoration, decorative painting, trompe-l’oeil, hand-painted wall, drawing on a wall, or a painting made directly on the wall: in every case someone paints the wall by hand, layer after layer. In Auvers-sur-Oise, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Auvers-sur-Oise keeps its stone houses along the river, its planted slopes and its church: a village where painted walls are part of the story.
Giulia also travels to Méry-sur-Oise, Valmondois, Butry-sur-Oise, L’Isle-Adam, Pontoise, Ennery, Nesles-la-Vallée and Parmain.
