Education and work
Kristoffer Zetterstrand studied at
Infiniminer, and ever since then the paintings have become an iconic part of the game. In 2024, Mojang Studios collaborated with Zetterstrand to add fifteen more paintings to Minecraft in commemoration of the game's fifteenth anniversary.[3] His paintings are often based on virtual still lifes and scenography sculpted in 3D applications, and he has broadened his sources of images to include vintage photography and imagery.[4]
Awards
In 2008 Zetterstrand received the
Solna. It depicts a rough timeline of the development of medicine in pixellated style.[8]
