On February 27th, gifted painter Paris Brosnan, the son of renowned actor Pierce Brosnan, celebrated his 24th birthday. As Paris continues to make waves in the worlds of art and fashion, as well as filmmaking, his father's storied relationship with the principality sets the stage for a potential future collaboration between the young artist and Monaco’s thriving cultural scene.
Pierce Brosnan: Monaco's Cinematic and Philanthropic Icon
Pierce Brosnan’s contributions to Monaco are both cinematic and philanthropic. His unforgettable portrayal of James Bond in GoldenEye (1995) forever linked him to the glamour of Monte Carlo. Iconic scenes filmed at the Monte Carlo Casino, Port Hercules, and Hotel de Paris showcased Monaco’s opulence on the silver screen, solidifying its status as a destination of intrigue and luxury.
Beyond his on-screen adventures, Brosnan has been a key figure in Monaco’s philanthropic endeavors. In 2018, he served as an event chair for the Monte Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean, a prestigious initiative spearheaded by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. This high-profile event raised awareness and funds for ocean conservation, an issue close to Brosnan’s heart. His involvement demonstrated a commitment to environmental causes that aligns with Monaco’s dedication to sustainability.

Paris Brosnan: A Rising Artistic Talent
While his father’s legacy in Monaco is well-established, Paris Brosnan is forging his own path. As an emerging artist, he channels his creativity into evocative paintings that explore themes of identity, culture, freedom and human emotion. His work, characterized by bold abstraction and rich storytelling, has earned him a growing reputation in contemporary art circles.
Paris has also made his mark in the fashion industry, modeling for prestigious brands and joining his father in campaigns for Paul & Shark. With a unique blend of artistic depth and effortless style, he is carving a niche that blends modernity with heritage.
During his creative collaboration with Golden Goose, Paris said: “I’ve always been drawn towards art in the way that you can be vulnerable with your emotions and communicate things that you can’t necessarily with words. It has really become one of my dreams and aspirations to continue making art for myself and if other people are receptive to it and like it, - that’s a bonus. So, just staying creative is so healthy for your mind, body and soul. 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. Friends inspire me, I see inspiring stuff on the internet all the time. So, I think drawing inspiration from different people and places. When I step into the studio, I don’t like to look at anything, I like to just work off of pure imagination, so whatever comes to mind, I like to spontaneously let free flow and put however I’m feeling.”
