A mural approach shaped by this place
Èze is walked on foot, through narrow lanes and stairways. Walls are often bare stone, and a mural has to work with that material rather than cover it. In the medieval village, a wall visible from the street needs the owner’s approval and, in the protected zone, a notice to the town hall. To start, a photo of the wall and its measurements are enough: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto it, then comes to paint on site.
What Giulia brings to Èze. 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. She paints with a brush, in odourless acrylic indoors and quartz paint outdoors, and Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have covered her work. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.

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 Èze?
Giulia Dal Bon charges 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.
Can a view of Èze be painted on a wall?
Yes, and it is a subject that sits well on a large wall. The village clinging to its rock, the stepped lanes, the bare stone of the walls and the sea six hundred metres below. Giulia Dal Bon paints all of it with a brush. As a line drawing, the view falls under the 150 € per sqm rate; with colour and shadow, it starts at 250 € per sqm. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Èze?
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.
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 Èze?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. The village sits high and is very exposed to wind and sun. An exterior mural needs a UV-resistant finish and a perfectly sound surface.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Èze?
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.

Murals for hotels and boutiques
Giulia Dal Bon paints murals for hotels, boutiques, showrooms, and hospitality spaces.
Hotel and boutique murals
Murals for children’s bedrooms
Murals for bedrooms, children’s rooms and smaller spaces: a landscape at the foot of the bed, a botanical motif around a window, a painted sky on the ceiling.
Children’s bedroom muralsIdeas for spaces
Depending on the space in Èze, the mural sits on a single panel of wall or covers the whole room: a simple or floral motif for a bedroom, a figurative scene for a living room, painted decor that follows the mouldings, or all four walls in one piece. Giulia draws from the wall she has seen.
Houses and villas
Bedrooms, living rooms, stairwells, entrances, hallways and ceilings. Example: a village house living room wall of 6 sqm in a simple motif, around 900 €.
Hotels, restaurants and shops
Restaurant rooms, hotel bedroom walls, shop windows, shutters, lobbies and offices. A hand-painted mural belongs to this place alone, and it is what people remember about it. Example: a village shop of 8 sqm fully painted, around 2 000 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Sea air attacks facades. A salt-blocking primer and a UV-resistant finish protect the colours from sun and salt. For a facade visible from the street, the owner’s or the building association’s approval is usually enough, plus a notice to the town hall in a protected zone. From 150 € per sqm, plus scaffolding if needed.

Where Giulia works in Èze
In Èze, in a house, a villa, a second home or a flat, she paints on an interior wall : the living room, the children’s bedroom and the bedroom. She also paints 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, when the wall belongs to someone else.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Èze, the room stays open while she paints: the acrylic is odourless. 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 the lobbies, the corridors and the rooms. In a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the wall you look at while you wait. In a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the wall you face while you wait. 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.
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 Èze: the bare stone of the walls and the sea six hundred metres below, the village clinging to its rock, the stepped lanes. A trompe-l’oeil window, a botanical motif and a painted sky work just as well.
Very different words lead to the same search: mural, wall mural, artistic painting on a wall, wall decoration, mural decoration, decorative painting. Trompe-l’oeil is one form of it, a hand-painted wall and a drawing on a wall are others, and some look for a painting made directly on the wall. Behind those words, one craft in Èze: mural artist, muralist, wall artist, decorative painter.
Èze brings together two very different clients: the shops of the medieval village, which see thousands of visitors a day, and the villas of Èze-Bord-de-Mer, where the work happens away from view.
Giulia also travels to La Turbie, Peille, Sainte-Agnès, Gorbio and Sospel.
