Vilém Kreibich spent his childhood in a railway environment, which influenced his later work. After his studies, he focused mainly on paintings depicting steam locomotives and railway traffic, but he also designed promotional posters. After school, he searched for twenty years for a suitable way of artfully capturing steam locomotives and also penetrated into their technical laws and details.
