GUEST: MARELIZE VAN ZYL - CEO of Aspire Art

In the rarefied world of global art collecting, a bold new narrative is taking shape—one painted in the vibrant hues and rich textures of contemporary African art. Once on the periphery of the international art scene, African artists are now commanding centre stage at major auctions, museums, and private collections. Leading the charge is Marelize, one of South Africa’s most respected voices in the art world and a trailblazer in shaping the global appetite for African creativity.
