Heinz Krebs
Heinz Krebs was raised and lives in Southern Germany where he runs his commercial graphic arts studio during the day and spends most of his free time either flying or painting.
He is a passionate aviator, a commercial pilot, and flying instructor with nearly 10,000 hours of flying time and almost 20.000 landings to his credit. He has flown more than 50 different types of aircraft ranging from 35 different types of gliders to DC-2s and jet fighters.
But all his life he has had one other love besides his flying: Fine Arts: Especially painting in oils. What makes his aviation art so unique is that, being able to draw on his life-long experience of both subjects, Heinz is able to convey in his unique style, true portraits of flight full of romance, action, and drama.

All Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered (S/N) by the artist. Limited Edition prints are restricted to a certain number. For example, if 400 prints are made from an original painting, once they’re gone, that’s it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. That’s why Limited Edition prints are more expensive — and more valuable to collectors — than "open" edition. Rare objects are more valuable.
All Limited Edition artwork is subject to availability at time of order. Although seller strives to remain currrent as to inventory, seller reserves the right to cancel a sale if item is no longer available at time of purchase.
