THE CINEMA PORTRAITS
PORTRAITS LIT ONLY BY THE LIGHT OF THE SCREEN
LEE MACK AND MILLIE
“Thank you so much for organising such a special day. It was the perfect way to finish watching the Harry Potter series with Millie, and to have you draw us as well is truly fantastic. Watching a movie with your kids is a special moment as a parent, so knowing our favourite artist was capturing the moment made it even more special.” —Lee Mack
“Thank you Nina. I had a really lovely day. I am so excited about seeing the drawing. We have lots of things of yours in our house, so to see a drawing of me watching my favourite film and knowing you drew it will be very exciting. And thank you for my sweets” — Millie
JUDE LAW
“Nina has created a perfect situation in which one can lose oneself in a favourite film and therefore become an open, engaged and yet relaxed subject. As someone who works in the medium of film it felt like a perfect triangulation for connection. Nina watching me watch a film.”
CAROLINE ISSA
"Thank you thank you for the beautiful portrait with your magical hands. I love it. It's so of the moment and captures such an expression of happiness and wonder at true art - very meta!'
ÉLISABETH TALBOURDET
“It was such a pleasure to pose, and an honour to see you at work”
FRANÇOISE TALBOURDET
“Thank you for that experience, I hope your son will like the other Miyazaki movies as much as I did! … I had a wonderful time.”
