Having an AI-generated image painted on a wall

Can an image created with ChatGPT or Midjourney be painted on a wall?

Yes. Send the image and a photo of your wall: Giulia Dal Bon takes it as an intention, then rethinks it for the real surface, the angle it is seen from and the light of the room. She sends back two free sketches mounted on the photo of your wall, you correct with her, and she paints with a brush. Free quote within 48 hours.

Who paints the mural?

Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries, paints by brush, on site, in sixteen European countries, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can be seen in Milan. Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have covered her work.

What does the price of a mural include?

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 is the difference between the AI image and the final mural?

The generated image is made for a screen: free proportions, invented light, details that are sometimes impossible. The mural is made for one precise place: it accounts for the height of the wall, the sockets and furniture, the window that lights it, the distance it is seen from. Giulia keeps the spirit of the image and makes an original painting of it, by hand, that nobody else owns.

AI often produces strange hands, faces or perspectives: what happens to those?

That is exactly where a painter comes in. Giulia redraws hands, faces and vanishing lines, corrects floating objects and contradictory shadows, and keeps what you loved in the image: the mood, the palette, the subject. Trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, she draws first, then paints. She adjusts the design with you.

Can I come with an image found on Pinterest or Instagram?

Yes. An image found online serves as a mood reference, like a generated image. Giulia draws on it to compose a new work, fitted to your wall, distinct from existing works by other artists. You approve the composition on the sketch before she paints. Say what you like in the image: the colour, the pattern, the atmosphere.

Who owns a mural painted from an AI image?

The mural is an original work painted by Giulia Dal Bon: it belongs to you as an object, and its design is protected like any artist’s creation. An AI-generated image, on the other hand, remains an image others can generate too. By having it painted, you get something unique, dated and signed if you wish.

What do I need to send for a quote?

Three things: the image, a photo of the wall, and its rough dimensions. Giulia answers within 48 hours with a free quote and a first reading of what works as it is and what she proposes to adapt. Then come the two free sketches, mounted on the photo of your wall, to correct together.

How long between sending the image and the finished mural?

The quote arrives within 48 hours, the sketches in the following days, and the painting date is set together around your calendar and hers. Giulia paints indoors with odourless acrylic colours: the room stays liveable, the restaurant stays open, the bedroom is back in use the same evening. The length of the job is written in the quote.

Can we keep the « AI image » style, very smooth and very sharp?

Yes, if that is what you like. Giulia can work in clean flat areas and smooth gradients, just as she can leave the mark of the brush. The style is decided on the sketch. Many people find that a painted mural has a depth the image lacked, and choose to let it breathe a little.
