Born in Papua New Guinea, where his parents worked as missionaries, Matt Holleman’s path has been as dynamic as his creative pursuits. After two years studying medicine in New Zealand, he left academia behind to live aboard a boat exploring the Pacific Islands—an experience that sparked his passion for musical composition.
Following his graduation from The New Zealand Music School, Matt spent nearly seven years working with an NGO in Kenya. Eventually drawn back to creative expression, he relocated to London, where he was introduced to the world of sculptural lighting—an encounter that marked the beginning of his journey with Ovature Studios.
