A post shared by Pierce Brosnan (@piercebrosnanofficial)
For more than thirty years Brosnan has found in painting an escape route and a tool to manage and cope with some of the most painful moments of his life. That "dark night" that former agent 007 refers to in his publication actually refers to the moment when his first wife, Cassandra Harris, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, from which she died in 1991 at the age of 43. A painful episode that would be repeated years later, in 2013, when the same disease also ended the life of Charlotte, daughter of Harris and her former husband, who the artist cared for as if it were his own and who adopted the surname Brosnan when his death mother.
Brosnan's life has been peppered from the beginning with difficult moments. Born on the east coast of Ireland, his father abandoned his mother when he was still a baby and she went to work in London, so the actor grew up with his grandparents, and when they died, he lived with other relatives. An absence of his own home that, repeatedly, has made him refer to his childhood as one of the most difficult periods on a personal level and that has marked him the most as an adult. This is how he explains that he likes to work as a father and that he has a very homely way of being. In addition to adopting Charlotte and Christopher, the two children of her previous partner, Cassandra Harris, both had another child, Sean. The actor remarried in 2001 with journalist Keely Shaye Smith, with whom he has shared his life since then and with whom he has two children.Paris and Dylan. In 2005, the artist confessed in an interview in the magazine
Playboy
who had severed his relationship with his son Christopher because of his cocaine addiction.

Brosnan's works range from nods to Man Ray and Matisse to portraits of Bob Dylan.
The latter, for example, was auctioned in 2018 at the AMFAR charity gala at the Cannes Film Festival and fetched a price of 1.4 million dollars (about 1.2 million euros).
In that act, the Irishman gave an emotional speech in which he confessed the reason for his beginnings in art, assuring that he had been "painting due to pain."
"The pain, sometimes, manifests itself in color," he said then.
