About Bonafida Studio

Contemporary art and custom visuals for artists, brands and spaces.

Bonafida Studio is an independent creative studio creating original artwork and distinctive visual experiences for artists, brands and interiors.

Founded in 2022 in the Netherlands, the studio brings together contemporary art, custom visual design and selected creative collaborations.

Our story

From artwork to creative studio.

Bonafida Studio was founded in 2022 by Dirk Roza, whose creative background reaches back much further. Growing up with graffiti and later studying digital photography at an art academy shaped a lasting interest in composition, atmosphere, visual culture and the way imagery can transform its surroundings.

What started as a personal exploration of digital artwork gradually developed into curated collections, creative collaborations and commissioned work for artists and brands.

Since its founding, Bonafida Studio has worked with artists and creatives from the Netherlands, Brazil, France, Germany and the United States.

Along the way, Bonafida Studio evolved from creating standalone images into developing broader visual directions across music, editorial, campaigns and physical spaces.

Today, the studio brings together contemporary art and custom visual work under one creative direction: creating imagery with character, atmosphere and a recognizable point of view.

Two sides of one studio

Bonafida Studio brings together commissioned visual work and original art, connected by one consistent creative direction.

Create.

We create original visual work for artists, brands and creative projects. From single artworks and release campaigns to broader visual series.

Collect.

Bonafida Studio creates contemporary wall art designed to bring character, contrast and atmosphere into homes, studios and commercial interiors.

Our approach

A distinct point of view, shaped around the project.

Bonafida Studio has a recognizable visual language, and that is often where a collaboration begins. Each project builds on that aesthetic while responding to the identity, atmosphere and purpose of the client.

The aim is not to repeat a formula, but to create something that feels unmistakably connected to Bonafida Studio while belonging naturally to the project it was created for.

A Recognisable Visual Language

Every project carries the character and visual sensibility associated with Bonafida Studio, while leaving room for the ideas and identity behind the project.

Designed for Context

The final environment matters. A visual is developed differently depending on whether it needs to live on an album cover, across a campaign, inside a publication or on a wall.

One Creative Language

Whether digital or physical, individual elements should feel connected and intentional.

Behind the studio

Creative direction with a personal foundation.

Bonafida Studio is founded and creatively directed by Dirk Roza, with a background in graffiti and digital photography that continues to influence the studio’s visual language today.

The studio works independently while collaborating with designers, artists and other creatives. This flexible approach keeps the creative direction consistent while allowing projects to grow beyond a single discipline.

At the centre of the studio is a simple principle: create work with enough character to be recognised, but enough flexibility to belong naturally to the people, projects and spaces it is made for.

Beyond the screen

Selected Bonafida Studio visuals have also been reinterpreted beyond the screen, from large-scale mural work to physical painting.

Collaborations

Built through creative collaboration.

Bonafida Studio collaborates with selected artists, designers and creatives when a project benefits from a broader set of skills or perspectives.

These collaborations are intentionally curated and always developed around a shared visual direction, from editorial design and event identity to release campaigns and future artist-led collections.
