Kreutzmann spent the majority of his life on Kangaamiut, a small Greenlandic trading station. Following the tradition of his grandfather and father, he learned to hunt and kayak in the waters surrounding their island. Beyond his adventurous expeditions, Kreutzman also carried on the oral tradition of storytelling.

It was not until his later life that Kreutzmann became known as a sculptor, by carving Inuit figures out of driftwood. After he finished the carving he painted his figures in bold colors.

Many of his carved figures found their way to Denmark, where they were exhibited in the 1920s and 30s. Kreutzmann’s sculptures were so popular they continued on to exhibitions in Paris, Rome and eventually the 1939 World’s Fair in New York.
