Agree - paint, grease, heat, water - not a great long-term idea. In addition to running the backsplash all the way (up to the ceiling in this case), we went with an add-on to the range, which does a great job keeping the area clean. It's also why I decided to (and pissed off my contractor) tile that area just to the right of the sink. Had to order extra tiles just for that. I make a mess cooking and cleaning up!
I see you have a nice range hood (as well as a beautiful range). Is it direct-vented?
Or do you vent up through the building?
Because my previous kitchen didn't have kitchen venting (and it was impossible to add it due to the layout) a rang hood was a must-have in my current house. I can't tell you how much it has improved my life. I no longer have to live with the lingering odors that can hang around for days.
