[Paris Brosnan](https://www.cohart.com/u/parisbrosnan) grew up painting alongside his father, Pierce Brosnan (AKA James Bond), who’s been making work as a self-taught artist since the ’80s. Los Angeles served as the perfect place for a young Paris to get inspired, skateboarding freely around the West Coast and initially diving into the arts by way of spray paint — his “first love,” as he tells _PAPER_.

Today, Paris’ work has developed into big, free-flowing paintings that explode with color and unruly expression. “My work is bold and vibrant, oftentimes energetic and sometimes overpowering,” the 23-year-old visual artist and filmmaker explains. Although his creative process is different each time, Paris is predominantly influenced by music: “I love to let songs that I’m listening to carry the vibe of the work,” he says, citing Afrobeats as a favorite.
