John Charles Tindel was born in Opelika, Alabama in 1975. He spent most of his "growing up" days in Panama City Beach, FL. After receiving a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in Graphic Design from the University of South Alabama, Tindel moved to Atlanta, Georgia.

"It wasn't until my last year in college when I picked up the paints," Tindel says "and from then it was like I became possessed and obsessed with creating images. I never know the outcome of a piece when I start, and that one fact leads to the strongest desire to see what I can bring out of the canvas." Tindel's works are in all sense prolific studies in line, shape and design... combining to form intriguing pictures ranging from sea life, abstracts and all things around and between. Each piece of Tindel's artwork is tainted in Multidimensionalism. Each step closer to one of his paintings reveal more detail and controlled chaos of form and design.

"I feel that artists should not settle for a stopping point in their style. I believe in mutation of ideas to release other images from your talent. A true artist, to me, will entertain the viewer with prolific series and trials of artwork." To best explain the Artist's style is to look at each piece as controlled chaos and try to define the element of style that makes it a Tindel...it is there. When the artist doesn't know the outcome of his work, it adds that undefined insight, but when the work gets tossed around in the head of a designer/musician/artist its insight is awakened and tightened.

As written by Glenn Armstrong (writer/poet)...
John Tindel is a multi-talented painter, graphic designer and illustrator equally adept at wielding a paintbrush or developing a website. In the acrylic still life "Flower Pot Setting" Tindel uses bold brush strokes to garland a flower pot with vibrant sunflowers and posies. The sturdy brick behind the flower pot hints at the grounded earthly reality of the classical still life form. However, the swirled window curtains and starry night that peeks through the panes suggest an ethereal mystery emanating from the heavens.

"Flower Pot Setting" fulfills Romantic poet John Keats' quest for timeless meaning beyond the constraints of mere words:

Thou still unravished bride of quietness,/Thou foster child of silence and slow time,/Sylvan historian, who canst thus express/A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:/ (Ode to a Grecian Urn, John Keats).
