Apparently, the 'Rambo' and 'Rocky' star has been painting part time for more than a span of 30 years, but its only now that he has started earning money from it.The exhibition "Trapped Ideals" is priced in the $40 - $50,000 range and it is expected that the paintings will not spend too much time hanging on the wall at the gallery. Two other paintings,one priced $40,000 and the other $50,000, sold within hours of the gallery opening, which only indicates that Sylvester's art is greatly appreciated.



At the art gallery, Las Vegas casino billionaire Steve Wynn purchased one of Stallone's abstract pieces for $40,000.Additionally, a self-portrait of Stallone, that he painted close to 40 yrs ago, was purchased by $50,000.

At the event,while speaking with the media, the actor honestly admitted to being tense at the thought he'd have his works in the same room as those of Colombian artist Fernando Botero. The reason being, Sylvester Stallone admired the paintings of Fernando Botero and has been collecting them for many years now.
