As well as being an acclaimed actor, he’s also a successful painter and avid art collector.

And Sylvester Stallone enjoyed one of his favourite pastimes as he hunted for art with his wife Jennifer Flavin at the Art Basel VIP preview at the Miami Beach Convention Center on Wednesday evening.

The couple – who are parents to daughters Sophia, 19, Sistine, 17, and 13-year-old Scarlet – were seen eyeing up some of the finer things in life as they eagerly chatted to exhibitors at the invite-only event.

The New York City native donned a sharp checked blazer, worn over a black T-shirt, loose-fit jeans and black suede shoes.

Businesswoman Jennifer looked lovely in a cream, short-sleeved blouse, styled with flared navy trousers and peep-toe black heels.

Sylvester, who studied art and has been painting since he was eight years old, has continued to nurture his more sensitive side while become an action star in movies such as Rocky and the Rambo series.

The actor, who says he likes to paint in his pajamas or in the nude, recently showed off some of his decades of work at a retrospective in Nice, France.

He has previously exhibited in St Moritz, Switzerland, and the Russian Museum in St Petersburg, Russia before his recent display at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.

‘We avoided like the devil anything that would make this a Hollywood thing,’ gallery director Mathias Rastorfer told the Telegraph.

Sylvester’s artwork, of which there are more than 300 pieces, have sold for up to $120,000 (£80,318), with his pals Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Travolta both owning pieces by the actor.

The father-of-one is an avid art collector and owns pieces by Claude Monet and Francis Bacon.

On Tuesday night, the Rocky star was seen at DuJour Magazine’s Annual Art Basel Miami Beach Kick-Off Party.

Proving his interest in the art collector world, he co-hosted the event alongside Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank, 41.
