Hi, I’m Kriss – The Artist Behind Where Did You Get That From.com & Art Iconic.se
I work with Design and Marketing (if you are interested see designrepublic.se), but with a passion for painting to relax.
I specialise in flat Illustrator-style portraits of musical icons. My work combines minimalism with bold color blocking and clean geometry, stripping away the unnecessary to reveal what makes each legend instantly recognisable. From the lightning bolt of Bowie to the sunglasses of Lennon, I translate sound into striking visuals that celebrate the people who shaped it.
I work both on ready-made artwork and custom commissions for fans, collectors, and anyone who wants to honour the artists who shaped their lives.
Whether you’re a vinyl enthusiast decorating your listening room, or someone searching for a personal gift, my portraits are designed to bring music into visual form.
For me, art and music have always been inseparable. Music is universal — it crosses borders, languages, and generations. A single song can bring back a memory, an emotion, or even change the way we see the world.
I create flat portraits of musical icons because I want to capture that timeless energy in a way that feels both modern and enduring. Flat design strips away distractions and focuses on the essence — the silhouette, the attitude, the unmistakable details that make an icon instantly recognisable.
It’s also about preserving legacy. These musicians shaped culture, broke barriers, and gave us soundtracks to our lives. My portraits are a way to honour them, keep their spirit alive, and let fans carry a piece of their story into their own homes.
Ultimately, my “why” is simple: To celebrate music visually, and to turn the legends we listen to into art we live with.
