Brett Olivieri (1986) is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and musician currently based out of Miami, FL. He works with a variety of materials and mediums. Having initially pursued a professional career as a graphic designer, in 2019 he decided to shift away from the world of advertising to concentrate on creating objects that hold a deeper, more meaningful, and creatively fulfilling significance. In 2021 he founded Studio Pal, a homegoods brand focusing on uniquely designed artistic products playing with the Japanese philosopy of shintoism - the belief that objects hold a spirit and unique personality.
He is currently using his musical and sculptural abilities to help him understand his relationship to cycles in nature, death, healing and the the seemingly invisible seasons of being alive. Through his own exploration, he is discovering root commonalites of what we all face as humans and how we can be more unified as a species sharing this earth.
