Lopez Grafico was born on December 25th 1980. He's currently working for publishing houses and magazines. His illustrations range from analog to digital technique. Apparently he has never left his house without a pencil and a sketchbook.
Lopezgrafico has made this look so simple, but so that it hides a lot of detail about the film.
The white background possibly suggests innocence of the Nina before she loses her mind just like the evil black swan she wishes to be in the show.
The spaces and the amount of blank space show simple yet complex, for example, the eyes and the meaning behind it all.
The faded grey behind the black shows the innocent ‘white swan’ she once was. The black swans over the top link in with the film title and also looks like the mask she wears whilst acting the black swan. It almost looks like a disguise for the real innocent person she once was.
The red in the eyes symbolises the pain and sort the determination/willpower she has to be this person. The eyes also show the insanity she has and the evil in her mind.

The red splatter/stain at the bottom of the image symbolises
blood and agony. It displays the blood, which flowed from Nina when she fell
onto the mattress during the end of the film, showing that after all the effort
came bloodshed.
The writing is very script like/handwritten and faded. It’s
a faded black colour, which could be to show the ‘white swan’ Nina was slowly
turning into the ‘black swan’ she become.
I find this very inspirational as there's lots of meaning behind such a simple, and what looks almost plain image.
