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.”
