Maria Bodrug

Mixed Media Artist


Maria Bodrug (Moldova, 1997) grew up in a country rich in cultural stories and traditions. From an early age, she explored a variety of art forms in order to express herself both as an artist and as a human being. Today, her artistic practice includes photography, video collages, design, painting, poetry, and performance.

Maria’s passion for photography began as a hobby but gradually evolved into a deeper artistic pursuit. In search of her own visual language and artistic voice, she moved to the Netherlands in 2021 to study at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, where she developed a critical and reflective approach to photography.

Not Built to Last

2025




Not Built to Last is the debut short film by director Deniz Arikan, produced by Buddy Film Productions. During the three-day shoot, I had the privilege of experiencing Rotterdam through Deniz’s perspective as both filmmaker and architect. His carefully chosen locations offered me the creative freedom to document the city through my own visual language, creating a compelling parallel between the film’s narrative and my still photography.

Alongside capturing the architecture, I was entrusted with documenting the team at work and creating portraits of the cast for the film poster, as well as additional images for the actors’ agencies to use for their promotion and archives.
