Born in Costa Rica in 1983, Miami raised artist Andres Carmiol aka JNGL (juhng-guhl) has dabbled in the arts since childhood. His artistic upbringing has roots in graffiti, as well as his early start as a tattoo artist during his teens. He then went on to obtain an A.A. in Fine Arts from Miami-Dade College. JNGL is also a Dj, which he claims as a constant source of inspiration for his work, "I believe that music and art go hand in hand, like left and right. One inspires the other, they constantly revolve around each other, music inspires art-art inspires music."
Not only does he draw inspiration from music but also from nature, life, death, social ills, cartoons, video-games, pop culture, religious iconography as well as Mexican and Asian culture. JNGL's aka spawned from his life and travels which were at a constant contrast, from the jungles of Costa Rica, to the concrete jungle that is Miami-Dade County.
