'''Kristoffer Zetterstrand''' is a Swedish artist. Kristoffer primarily paints classical paintings, but they are often influenced by pixelated computer graphics and 3D worlds. Most of the [[Minecraft:painting]]s in ''Minecraft'' were created by him.

The texture file of paintings was named <code>paintings_kristoffer_zetterstrand.png</code> {{in|je}} prior to [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.14|1.14]], and is still called <code>[[Minecraft:kz.png]]</code> for his initials {{in|be}}.
