Murals in Seville
The Plaza de España, architect Aníbal González’s major work for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, combines exposed brick and polychrome ceramics: its forty-eight benches, one for each Spanish province, are clad in azulejos made in the kilns of Triana, the potters' district across the Guadalquivir. Here the decorated wall is a centuries-old tradition. In Seville, Giulia paints for patio houses, boutique hotels and restaurants. Giulia travels easily to Seville to paint: you send her a photo of the wall and she draws the sketch straight onto it, so you see the mural in place before she travels.
In Seville, the subjects are right there: the Giralda, the Plaza de España and its azulejo benches, the flowered patios of Santa Cruz, the tiles of Triana, the orange trees of the streets. As line drawings they fall under the 150 € per sqm rate; fully painted, with colour and shading, from 250 €.
What Giulia brings to Seville. Seville turned the decorated wall into a tradition, from Triana’s azulejos to the benches of the Plaza de España. Giulia works in the same direction, but with a brush and made to measure, with the colour and life that mark her work. She loves what the artists here have done, and builds each mural with the person who entrusts it to her. 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 written about her work, and her mural of over twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can be seen in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.
Live painting is available in Seville too. Giulia arrives with canvas and paints, works through a wedding, a concert, a festival or a company evening, and the painting is yours at the end of the evening. From 950 € for a wedding, from 900 € for a company evening, from 400 € for a performance at a concert. See live painting →
Murals district by district in Seville
Murals in Triana
Triana lived off clay: its clay soils produced pottery, azulejos and bricks from the Almohad period onward, and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the quarter became the great tile-producing centre of all Andalusia, shipped by sea to Italy and the Americas. Giulia Dal Bon paints bar walls, patios and courtyard facades in Triana. From 150 € per square metre, free quote within 48 hours.
Murals in Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is the old Jewish quarter of Seville, a maze of white lanes, flowered patios and low doorways, pressed up against the Alcázar. Giulia paints patios, restaurant walls and hotel lobbies here, on surfaces of 8 to 15 m². As the quarter is protected, any exterior goes through a declaration.
Wall painting in the Macarena
The Macarena keeps its working-class character, its basilica of the Esperanza and the best-preserved stretch of the Almohad wall of Seville. Giulia Dal Bon paints courtyard facades, roller shutters and workshop walls here. Outdoors she works in quartz paint, with an anti-pollution varnish along the avenues.
Murals on the Alameda de Hércules
The Alameda de Hércules is the wide square where Seville goes out in the evening, lined with bars, terraces and low buildings. Giulia paints bar walls, shopfronts and restaurant rooms here, in odourless acrylic: service continues while she works.
Murals in Los Remedios and Nervión
Los Remedios and Nervión are the residential quarters of Seville, with their patio buildings, their practices and their offices. Giulia Dal Bon paints children’s rooms, waiting rooms and reception areas here. From 150 € per square metre, free quote within 48 hours.
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 Seville?
The rate is per square metre: €150 for a line drawing or a simple motif, €250 for a fully painted subject, €350 for a trompe l’oeil or ceiling. The quote is free: see all prices.
How do I commission a mural in Seville?
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 Seville, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Seville, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
Does the price of a mural in Seville include the materials?
With Giulia Dal Bon, the price per square metre 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 Seville, 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 Seville 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.
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 Seville?
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 Seville be painted on a wall?
Yes, and the city lends itself to it. The Giralda, the Plaza de España by Aníbal González built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition with its forty-eight azulejo benches, and the flowered patios of Santa Cruz. Giulia Dal Bon draws them, then paints them, by hand. The line alone falls under 150 € per sqm, the painted version under 250 €. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Seville?
In Seville, botanical motifs and patio decors, because the city has a very strong decorative tradition, from Triana tiles to flowered courtyards. 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 Seville, 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 Seville, 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 Seville?
Yes, with surface preparation and quartz paint, made for outdoor walls. In Seville the sun is very strong: lightfast pigments are used, and the hottest hours of summer are avoided. Choosing the paint and the surface for an outdoor wall in Seville is explained in the guide Which paint, which wall, how long it lasts.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Seville?
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: most of Seville’s historic centre is 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 Seville, 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 Seville
In Seville, she paints on an interior wall : the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen. She paints the bathroom, the entrance and the hallway just as readily. A ceiling is painted like a wall, working overhead. Outside, on the exterior facade, she works in quartz paint. She also paints on a mobile panel, when the wall belongs to someone else.
The venues that welcome her in Seville range from apartment to boutique, with hotel in between.
In Santa Cruz, Triana, Alameda, El Arenal and Nervión, send her a photo of the wall: she draws the sketch onto it, you give her your opinion, and she adjusts.
As for the subject, Giulia draws what you want to see on that particular wall: a landscape, a floral or botanical motif, a painted sky on a ceiling, a perspective trompe-l’oeil, figures, animals, lettering or a painted sign. She also reproduces an existing work. Two sketches come to you before the first brushstroke.
Possible subjects in Seville: the flowered patios of Santa Cruz, the Giralda. A trompe-l’oeil window, a botanical motif and a painted sky work just as well.
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 Seville, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
The 1929 Plaza de España, with its forty-eight benches in Triana azulejos, makes Seville a city where the decorated wall is a tradition.
Giulia also travels across the whole of Spain.
