Olivia Pedigo (b. 2000) is a Miami native 3D artist, animator, and graphic designer. Before graduating from the University of Florida in 2022 with a degree in Public Relations and a minor in Digital Arts and Sciences, Olivia gained experience as a gallery assistant at the Gainesville Fine Arts Association and as a merchandise designer for the on-campus publication Rowdy Magazine during her time in school.
Since 2018, Olivia's work has evolved to reflect a dreamscape where comfort and isolation intersect, notably seen in her 'bedroom pieces.' These scenes, devoid of human presence yet filled with character, explore the relationship between individuals and their possessions, with a focus on technology and a feminine perspective. She draws inspiration from childhood influences like Dr. Seuss and contemporary artists such as Jiayi Li, Nathalie Nguyen, and Hilma af Klint.
During Miami Art Basel 2023, Delta Airlines commissioned Olivia to create a piece using upcycled plane parts, making her one of six local artists chosen to be elevated by the brand. She chose to work with titanium fan blades, crafting a sculptural installation that was displayed at Delta's Open Air Gallery. The piece was featured in Nylon Magazine, Highsnobiety, The Observer, and Airways Magazine.
