Zilinsky, who won the Portia Geach Memorial Award in 2020, said a friend had shown Elordi her work before suggesting he would be a good subject to paint. Zilinsky sketched Elordi, 26, in Stanwell Tops, NSW, on the set of the mini-series adaptation of Richard Flanagan's novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

Congratulations to Nanda\Hobbs artists—Yoshio Honjo, Nicola Higgins, Caroline Zilinsky, Kirsty Neilson and Ben Smith who are all Archibald finalists, and Katherine Hattam and Nick Santoro who are selected for the Sulman Prize.
