Olivia Bonilla

Meet the artist

Olivia is a Colombian-American Pop Art sculptor known for her not so edible iconic confectionary representations. Driven by childhood memories, toy culture, and the lure of rich finishes, she aims to communicate sculptural vignettes of a familiar visual playground.

Over the years Olivia has explored a maximalist approach to sweet excess. Exploiting popular sweet treats as subjects to a sugar-coated reality.

The confectionary theme is a vessel to tell a story about the indulgence of color, the nostalgia of a sweet pastime, and communicate a visceral experience via sculpture.
