RINUS VAN DE VELDE
Belgian contemporary artist Rinus Van de Velde joins Dominique Nzeyimana in the loft.
With a career spanning over 20 years, Rinus has enchanted the international art world and is hailed for his powerfully fluid drawings and texts. His artistic practice spans drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and film - opening portals to multiple realities.
Rinus and Dominique have a meeting of minds about the artist’s changing relationship with nostalgia, expansion, the magic of drawing, learning from his artistic forefathers and the enduring impact of Paul McCarthy, Raymond Pettibon and Franz West.
You’ll also get the story behind his deep bond with gallerist Tim Van Laere and how their partnership came to be.
From Rinus’ first fantasies of creation, learning to advocate for his art to producing internationally raved-about exhibitions across continents: you’ll hear all about it from the man behind the masterpieces himself.
A true Modern Great!

GHINA BAZZI
Ghina Bazzi is the first world-class chef to be featured on The Most.
Classically trained at the highest level, the Lebanese-born, Antwerp-based food entrepreneur joins Dominique at the loft to recount her earliest days moving to Sierra Leone from Beirut and how that shaped her personally and professionally.
The two dive into Ghina’s formative years in the high-demand kitchens of multi-Michelin-star chefs, the heart-breaking decisions she had to make and the hard times that led her from hosting sold-out culinary nights to the inception of her current dream and Antwerp's newest hotspot, her deli ‘SUR’.
Ghina also discusses the perks of being best friends with Raf Simons’ right-hand person Bianca Quets Luzi and how she uses weightlifting as a tool to channel some of her self-described “aggressive energy”.
