The winter issue of MASTERS #44 includes a great interview with singer/pianist Karsu. We sit down in Helmond with Jermain de Rozario, who developed from "debauched party animal" to one of the youngest celebrity chefs. And we walk with director Sjarel Ex through the empty halls of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, which is undergoing a major renovation.Text: Bart-Jan Brouwer

2021 will be the Year of the Prick. Just a little longer and we will again have bustling venues, fully booked restaurants, euphoric stadiums, flying joy at Schiphol Airport and MASTERS EXPO at the RAI. Until then, we'll keep it cozy at home. MASTERS #44 takes a look at interior design trends. Which colors will dominate in 2021, will the trend be minimalist or lavish, which fabrics will prevail? The country's most authoritative interior designers, from Piet Boon to Robin Sluijzer, shine their light on the near future. And when we will soon be allowed out again, how will we take to the road? In other words: what are the cars to look forward to and look back on? We show you the eye-catchers of 2021, ranging from space, luxury and silence wrapped in a beautiful costume to a 6.5-liter V12 that screams out up to 830 hp.
One who cannot wait for the theaters, halls and stages to fill up again is singer-pianist Karsu, protagonist of this edition's Big Interview. "I find that I can also offer affection, comfort and cheerfulness through social media. But I miss people immensely. I do feel lonely during a garden gig." Until corona, she always felt that art was a luxury. When the theaters closed, she felt she had to accept that. I just chose this profession. Only during corona did she find out that art is indeed a primary necessity of life. "Because it connects people. People are looking for something to hold on to." Corona does more than underscore the essence of art. According to Sjarel Ex, this "sledgehammer blow" affects art in a huge way. "Perhaps because we start to appreciate art again and experience and live it more intensively." When the director of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen saw works of art again for the first time after the first lockdown, he did not keep dry. "Art is more than just beautifully made, art is something that is enormously comforting and at the same time very exciting. You need and need to see that for yourself, and you see that in times of corona. This time is an intensification of what the senses really need for full humanity." Where Sjarel Ex lets his emotions go at the reunion with art, another will do so at the first amuse prior to a long-awaited star-studded dinner, and yet another at the opening of the curtain in a finally packed theater once again. The end of the dark corona tunnel is in sight. Meanwhile, we continue to excite you with MASTERS in the fields of gastronomy, art, craftsmanship, interior design, travel ... On the way to being able to tick off the bucket list again. On the way to being a full human being again.
