A mural approach shaped by this place
Roquebrune holds two worlds: the hilltop medieval village, and the Cap where Eileen Gray’s villa E-1027, built 1926-29 and a listed monument since 2000, sits beside the Cabanon Le Corbusier built in 1952, 3.66 metres square to his Modulor. On the Cap, sea air calls for a salt-blocking primer before any colour. 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 can be painted in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin comes down to a few images: the medieval village clinging to the rock, the villa E-1027 and its painted walls, the 1952 Cabanon, the olive trees of the cape, the coastal path. As line drawings they fall under the 150 € per sqm rate; fully painted, with colour and shading, from 250 €.
What Giulia brings to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. 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.
What Giulia brings to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin
In 1938 and 1939 Le Corbusier painted eight large murals inside the villa E-1027, the house Eileen Gray had designed at Cap-Martin with Jean Badovici. He did so with the agreement of Badovici, the owner, but without Gray’s knowledge; she discovered the murals when they were published after the war and called it an act of vandalism. Those eight paintings are still at the centre of a debate, almost a century later.
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin therefore teaches something precise about wall painting: a painted wall belongs to the people who live in the house. That is how Giulia Dal Bon works: two free sketches, the design mounted on a photo of your wall, adjusted with you, and the painting only once the design is the one you want. With a brush, in odourless acrylic colours indoors and quartz paint outdoors. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48 hours.
Giulia also paints live in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. For a seaside wedding, a summer evening or a birthday, 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 400 € for a performance. For a wedding, the reception venues are gathered on the live wedding painting in Monaco page.
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 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin?
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 do I commission a mural in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin?
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 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
Does the price of a mural in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin include the materials?
With Giulia Dal Bon, the 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.
What kind of mural works well in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin?
In Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, restrained, graphic motifs on the Cap, more figurative in the medieval village. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
Does it damage the wall?
Giulia paints on the existing plaster after a simple clean. If the wall is cracked or damp, she says so before the quote and explains what needs fixing. An acrylic mural can be painted over later like any wall paint.
Can I see the design before saying yes?
Yes, always. Giulia sends a digital sketch laid over the photo of your wall, with a detailed quote. The first two sketches are free, and she adjusts them with you.
Can a view of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin be painted on a wall?
Yes. What draws the city comes down to a few elements. The perched medieval village and its keep, the thousand-year-old olive tree, and on the cape the Villa E-1027 by Eileen Gray, built from 1926 to 1929 and a listed monument since 2000. 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 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin?
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 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Southern exposure and sea air. Exterior work needs a salt-blocking primer, especially on the Cap.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin?
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?
An acrylic mural by Giulia Dal Bon 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.

Children’s bedroom muralsIdeas for spaces
Depending on the space in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, 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 veranda wall of 8 sqm fully painted, around 2 000 €.
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 covered terrace wall of 10 sqm in a simple motif, around 1 500 €.
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 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin
In Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, 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. In a rented place, she paints on a mobile panel that you take with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the room stays open while she paints: the acrylic is odourless. In a boutique and a shop, the painted window is seen from the street, and the shutter stays painted after closing. 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. For a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the entrance and the waiting area. In an office and a showroom, she paints the wall the teams walk past every day. A vaulted cellar is painted too, from the wall to the vault.
Possible subjects in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin: the medieval village clinging to the rock, the villa E-1027 and its painted walls, the 1952 Cabanon, the olive trees of the cape, the coastal path. 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 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin: mural artist, muralist, wall artist, decorative painter.
Roquebrune mixes the hilltop medieval village with the modernist villas of the Cap, including Le Corbusier’s Cabanon.
Giulia also travels to Sospel, Peille, Gorbio and Sainte-Agnès.
