Murals in Luxembourg
On 1 July 2006 Grand Duke Jean inaugurated the museum of modern art that bears his name, designed by Ieoh Ming Pei on the remains of Fort Thüngen: the building follows the line of the old ramparts, in the Dräi Eechelen park. Belair is the most sought-after residential district in Luxembourg City, with Limpertsberg among the two districts with the highest property prices in the capital. In Luxembourg, Giulia paints for residences, apartments and offices.
What Giulia brings to Luxembourg. 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.
For a company evening, Giulia also paints live in front of your guests: corporate live painting in Luxembourg, from 900 €.
What Giulia brings to Luxembourg
The Bock Casemates date from 1644, when the Spanish modernised the medieval works and built the great bastions; the network was later extended under Vauban, to 17 kilometres of galleries cut into the rock. In 1994 the old quarters and fortifications were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. During the two world wars the casemates sheltered up to 35,000 people.
Luxembourg is therefore a city built on two levels, rock and void, where houses look out over moats and galleries. Giulia Dal Bon paints there with a brush, in the flats, offices, hotels and restaurants of the upper town and the Grund, using odourless acrylic colours indoors: the place stays open while she works. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48 hours.
Giulia also paints live in Luxembourg. For a company evening, a conference, an opening or a wedding, 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. See live painting →

How do I get a mural painted in my home in Luxembourg?
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 Luxembourg, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Luxembourg, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does the price of a mural in Luxembourg include?
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.
I’d like a mural or a painting on a wall of my home in Luxembourg, who should I contact?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She paints murals by brush in homes, bedrooms, bathrooms, on terraces, pool walls and facades, and travels in Luxembourg as she does across Europe. Send her a photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and your idea, however loose: she replies within 48 hours with a quote and a first proposal. The first two sketches are free. The questions to ask before entrusting a wall in Luxembourg are gathered in the guide Who to hire to have a wall painted.
Can I see a design before commissioning the mural?
Always. You receive a sketch set on a photo of your own wall, to scale, together with the quote. The first two sketches are free: Giulia shows the work in progress, you give your opinion, and she adjusts. You confirm when you are ready.
Will a mural damage the wall?
The paint goes onto the plaster already in place. In most cases a dusting down is all that is needed before starting. If the surface has cracks or rising damp, Giulia points it out before quoting and proposes the preparation required. Indoors she uses an odourless acrylic: a child’s bedroom in use or a restaurant that stays open can both be painted. An acrylic mural can later be painted over like any wall paint, if you change your mind in ten years.
When is the best time to paint a mural in Luxembourg?
All year round. Indoors the odourless acrylic lets the room stay in use while she works, in January as in July. Outdoors she needs a dry wall and a mild temperature. Giulia sets the date with you when she quotes, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves.
Can a view of Luxembourg be painted on a wall?
Yes, and it is a subject that sits well on a large wall. The upper town on its cliffs, the Adolphe bridge over the valley, the Bock casemates and I. M. Pei’s Mudam, opened on 1 July 2006 on the Thüngen fort. Giulia Dal Bon paints it with a brush, on site. The rate follows the technique: 150 € per sqm for a line drawing, 250 € for a fully painted view. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Luxembourg?
In Luxembourg, residences and apartments lend themselves to botanical motifs, figurative subjects or a discreet trompe l’oeil. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
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 Luxembourg, 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 Luxembourg, 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 Luxembourg?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Outdoors, Giulia paints all year round, on a dry wall and in mild weather.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Luxembourg?
An interior wall can be painted freely. For a facade visible from the street, you generally need the owner’s or building association’s agreement, and a notice to the municipality if the building sits in a protected zone: many buildings in the historic centre are protected. 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?
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 Luxembourg, 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.

Where Giulia works in Luxembourg
In Luxembourg, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen. She also paints the bathroom, the entrance and the hallway. A ceiling is painted like a wall, working overhead. Outside, she switches to quartz paint on the exterior facade. She also paints on a mobile panel, when the wall belongs to someone else.
She paints in venues as different as apartment and boutique, and in hotel.
Whether your wall is in Belair, in Limpertsberg or in the city centre, a photo of it and its dimensions are enough to start: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto the photo.
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 Luxembourg: the Bock casemates and I, the upper town on its cliffs, the Adolphe bridge over the valley. And always the trompe-l’oeil window, the botanical motif and the painted sky on a ceiling.
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 Luxembourg: mural artist, muralist, wall artist, decorative painter.
Belair and Limpertsberg are the two districts with the highest property prices in Luxembourg City.
Giulia also travels throughout the Grand Duchy.
