A mural approach shaped by this place
Mougins is the village where Picasso lived his last twelve years, from 1961 until his death on 8 April 1973, in the Notre-Dame-de-Vie farmhouse turned studio. Restaurants are many and closely packed, and each one looks for a visual identity of its own. The hillside villas nearly all have a pool and a pool house, and those surfaces take chlorine: the finish has to be washable and resistant. A photo of the wall and its measurements are all it takes to begin: Giulia draws the sketch on it, then comes to paint on site.
What Giulia brings to Mougins. 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.

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 Mougins?
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 Mougins be painted on a wall?
Yes, and the city lends itself to it. The village spiralling around its hill, the old doorways, the olive trees, and the mas of Notre-Dame-de-Vie where Picasso lived from 1961 until 8 April 1973. Giulia Dal Bon paints the scene with a brush, at the scale of the wall: 150 € per sqm as a line drawing, 250 € fully painted. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Mougins?
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 Mougins?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Mougins sits a few kilometres inland, sheltered from direct salt. A garden wall or pool house mainly needs a washable, chlorine-resistant finish.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Mougins?
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?
Painted in acrylic by Giulia Dal Bon, a 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.

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 Mougins, 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 pool house wall of 12 sqm in a simple motif, around 1 800 €.
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 fine-dining restaurant room of 15 sqm in trompe-l’oeil, around 5 250 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Less salt than on the coast, but sharper temperature swings. The surface has to be properly dry before starting. 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 Mougins
In Mougins, 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. A ceiling is painted the same way, from the scaffold. On the exterior facade and the garden wall, quartz paint takes over from acrylic: it is made for facades. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Mougins, the room stays open while she paints: the acrylic is odourless. In a boutique and a shop, window and shutter are painted by hand, and change with the seasons. In a hotel and a B&B, the painted wall gives each room its own subject. For a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the cabin, changing-room and reception walls. 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.
The subject is decided together. A landscape opens up the far end of a room, a floral or botanical motif runs along a wall, a painted sky fills a ceiling, a perspective trompe-l’oeil draws a window on a solid wall. Giulia also paints figures, animals, lettering, painted signs, and reproduces an existing work when you ask her to.
Possible subjects in Mougins: the mas of Notre-Dame-de-Vie, the village spiralling around its hill, the old doorways, the olive trees. And anywhere, a trompe-l’oeil window, botanicals and a painted sky find their place.
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 Mougins: mural artist, muralist, wall artist, decorative painter.
In Mougins, Giulia paints in the hillside villas and their pool houses. She also paints in the old village restaurants and boutique hotels.
Giulia also travels to Valbonne, Biot and Juan-les-Pins.
