The Italian writer/​director has selected his favourite Tilda Swinton portrait from over 70 of your entries.

Earlier this month we set a creative brief inspired by Luca Guadagnino’s sun-kissed Sicilian drama, A Bigger Splash, asking our readers to submit an original portrait of the film’s star, Tilda Swinton, as her rock-star alter ego Marianne Lane.

The director has named his three favourite artworks and chosen the overall winner, which he says: ​“shows a personal take on A Bigger Splash that, in a way, guesses the ambitions of the movie. Bravo.”
