Murals in Zundert
Vincent van Gogh was born in Zundert on 30 March 1853, in the parsonage on the village’s main street, at Markt 29, across from the town hall. This is North Brabant, one of the most agricultural areas of the Netherlands. On the spot where he was born and raised stands the Vincent van GoghHuis today, an art centre telling his life and holding exhibitions. Giulia paints in Zundert for village houses, venues and professional spaces.
What Giulia brings to Zundert. Van Gogh started here, in a farming village, before everything else. It is a useful reminder: a painted wall asks for someone who cares about it, wherever the address. Giulia brings colour and her joy to ordinary walls, and builds each mural with the person who calls 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.
What Giulia brings to Zundert
Since 1936, on the first Sunday of September, twenty hamlets of Zundert parade floats built by hand from wire, cardboard and papier-mâché, then covered in dahlias: around eight million flowers, grown locally, for a single procession. Each hamlet has three months to build its own, and it is the largest flower parade in the world.
Zundert is therefore a village where, every year, a thousand people build enormous images by hand, for a single day. Giulia Dal Bon paints there with a brush, in houses, restaurants, hotels and shops, using odourless acrylic indoors and quartz paint on facades. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48 hours.
Live painting is available in Zundert too. Giulia arrives with canvas and paints, works through a festival, an opening, a concert or a wedding, and the painting is yours at the end of the evening. From 950 € for a wedding, from 400 € for a performance. See live painting →

A photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and the idea you have in mind are enough to receive a quote.

How do I get a mural painted in my home in Zundert?
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 Zundert, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Zundert, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does the price of a mural in Zundert include?
Giulia Dal Bon’s 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 Zundert, 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 Zundert 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. To have a wall painted in Zundert, the guide Who to hire to have a wall painted explains the words of the craft and how to choose.
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 Zundert?
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 Zundert be painted on a wall?
Yes. A painted view lives first of all on its lines. The parsonage at Markt 29 where Van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853, the square facing the town hall, and the Brabant fields all around. 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 Zundert?
In Zundert, village houses lend themselves to botanical motifs, countryside landscapes or a trompe l’oeil that opens the wall. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
What is the difference between a hand-painted mural and spray-painted graffiti?
A graffiti artist works with spray cans, and the line is fast and graphic. Giulia Dal Bon paints with a brush: the layers go on one after another, which allows gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil. A mural in Zundert becomes a painting made directly on the wall, by hand. While she works, people take the time to watch and take photos.
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. 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 Zundert?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. The climate is damp. All year round, Giulia also paints outdoors, on a dry wall and in mild weather.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Zundert?
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?
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.

Where Giulia works in Zundert
In Zundert, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen. She also paints the bathroom, the entrance and the hallway. The ceiling is painted too: that is the €350 per sqm band, with trompe-l’oeil. Outside, on the exterior facade, she works in quartz paint. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
She paints in venues as different as apartment and boutique, and in hotel.
From the village centre to the Markt, Giulia paints all over Zundert. A photo of the wall and its dimensions are enough to start: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto it.
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 Zundert: the Brabant fields all around, the parsonage at Markt 29 where Van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853, the square facing the town hall. Alongside these, a trompe-l’oeil window, a botanical motif or a painted sky remain possible.
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 Zundert: mural artist, muralist, wall artist, decorative painter.
Vincent van Gogh was born in Zundert on 30 March 1853, at Markt 29, where the Vincent van GoghHuis stands today.
Giulia also travels throughout the Netherlands.
