"I've been surrounded by art my entire life. Whether it be watching my dad paint, painting with my brother [Dylan Thomas Brosnan], going to museums, or looking through art books; I've always been drawn to art in the way that you can be vulnerable with your emotions and communicate things that you can't necessarily with words."
He continued: "My biggest source of inspiration, I would have to say, would be my dad because I grew up watching him paint. I saw how he would lock-in in the studio for hours and just get lost in there."
Pierce Brosnan, most famous for his role as James Bond from 1995 to 2002, took up painting in 1987 and has since become well-respected a well-respected artist in the Los Angeles art scene.
Speaking at his first solo art show on May 2023, Pierce said of his passion: “It’s my own birthday gift to myself to have the courage to say, come and see my artwork," he told AP News.
The actor went on to explain that many of his paintings start as a doodle when he's on the phone: "My wife, Keely, bought these pads that sit by the phone with her initials, my initials.

"And soon as I am on a phone call, or I’m doing business, and I have a morning of calls. The pad is there, and the drawings just happen. They just show themselves, so they have a mystery."
According to his website, before Pierce decided to pursue acting, he'd originally wanted a career in art and began working as an illustrator after leaving school.
The way Pierce Brosnan looks at his wife Keely...
Profits for some of his sales have been donated to charities and the Brosnan Foundation, and the actor has also painted a number of pieces for his wife of 22 years, Keely Shaye; a painting titled Bisou Moi (Kiss Me), was a special gift he had given his wife on Valentine's Day.
Pierce and Keely have been together since they met in 1994, when the James Bond actor met journalist Keely at a party in Cabo San Lucas a year before he made his Bond debut in Golden Eye.
The pair married in 2001 at the 785-year-old Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland, and went on to have two children together, Dylan, 26, and Paris, 22.
Pierce has three children from his marriage to first wife, Cassandra Harris, who sadly died from Ovarian cancer in 1991, and adopted Cassandra's kids from her previous marriage, Charlotte Brosnan and Christopher Brosnan.
