ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jennia Fredrique Aponte, a visual artist based in Los Angeles, has been perfecting her paper mosaic skills since her childhood days. With a passion for paper and collage, Jennia's mother gave her an exacto knife when she was just 10 years old, which further fueled her love for the art form.
With a strong foundation in the arts, Jennia began her journey as a dancer, actor, and filmmaker. Drawing on her background in movement and storytelling, she expertly infuses her love of paper to create collages that are a true reflection of her diverse passions. Jennia's approach is distinct in that she incorporates dancers into her work, using their artistry to tell stories that transcend beyond the physical realm and challenge viewers to delve deeper into the meaning behind her art. Her passion for paper is evident through her use of unique materials, including Egyptian papyrus and pure gold leaf, that she collects from all over the world. Rather than creating new materials, Jennia takes existing pieces and skillfully transforms them into an innovative art form that speaks to her unique creative vision.
