‘The Graphic Art of the Harry PotterTM Films’, debut exhibition from design studio MinaLima opens Monday June 17th at contemporary art gallery The Coningsby Gallery, Fitzrovia.
This exhibition showcases graphic designs from the Harry Potter films by Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima,
reproduced as limited edition art prints which they produce from their print studio, The Printorium.
MinaLima
MinaLima was founded in 2009 out of a coincidence of ideas between Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima. Mira
and Eduardo had the extraordinary fortune to meet on the set of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and
immediately forged an alliance of creativity and humour, connecting them in every design decision from then on.
Mira studied Film Design at The National Film & TV School, London, after graduating from Central Saint Martins
with a degree in Theatre Design. A career in film design then began, with Mira eventually specialising in graphic
and prop design for some of cinema’s leading production designers.
Eduardo graduated in Visual Communications in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and for several years worked in editing
on major Brazilian feature films. He moved to London in 2001 to enrich his professional experience, harnessing
a career in graphic design upon his engagement in 2002 on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets where he
met Mira.
Mira and Eduardo spent ten years creating elements of the graphic design for the Harry Potter films. As the
creators of the graphic representation of the Marauder’s Map, the Daily Prophet and every other graphic prop in
the film series, they have a superb and passionate understanding of the Harry Potter films. The graphic design
aesthetic MinaLima developed for the Harry Potter films is still sought after.
