Welcome to my diverse art home. It includes works and texts that document my life as an art photographer since I founded Oberg PhotoGraphics in 2009. It can be viewed as a catalogue raisonné of over 400 works.

Lund, Sweden – November 26, 2025

News…

🪭 The present exhibition in my studio gallery – “Art Walls Without Borders” walk around and experience it in this video.

🪭 Soon more to be seen here and on Substack. You know, I have just returned from three weeks around China, and that means new works – sooner or later. A first result is this photo essay, “Shen’ao: An ancient village in China – Part 1.” It has only 1500 inhabitants, and I saw no other foreign visitors.

🪭 Read about it and see some of the works exhibited on Oberg PhotoGraphics Magazine on Substack.

🪭 Find about twenty new works on this homepage. To get an overview, check out my Substack platform. Ten new works and New works based on my 53-year-old Polaroid SX-70 camera – both with links back to this homepage.

Alternatively, you may stay here and explore the content within these two categories: Art Photography and China 2018 to Present.

Here is one from each category:

🪭 The info and news you used to see here on my front page are now on Oberg PhotoGraphics on Substack. Go visit, please. It’s a whole new watching and reading experience! And a great extension of this homepage.

That’s also where you will find my “PostArt” Newsletter from # 130 and onwards.

I have put a lot of energy and care into Oberg PhotoGraphics Magazine on Substack. It’s the one I would love to read, but I never found. Here is how I want to present it to you:

“This is the magazine I always looked for but never found. This is where photography meets philosophy and social issues, and where cultural reflection meets the art world. It’s a space for you who listen between the lines and look beneath the surface.

This magazine grows out of Oberg PhotoGraphics, my diverse art photography work rooted in visual simplicity and philosophical depth – and, of course, my photographic concept.

It’s a reflection of my philosophy that “No style is a style.”

It’s an extension of that experimental practice – a journal where images breathe alongside essays, and reflection is part of the creative rhythm.

I explore themes that resist haste: the power of small talk, the resonance of music, the soul of liberal arts, and the beauty in things unspoken. It’s a publication for the culturally curious, for those who believe photography isn’t just a medium but a way of seeing—and that art can still ask the most important questions.

And perhaps bring some answers too.

I hope this space brings moments of meaning and unexpected clarity. I’m really happy you’ve found your way to it.”

My real art home

Established in May 2009, Oberg PhotoGraphics is about experimental art photography based on my photographics concept. Here are some reflections on those years.

It’s a real art home, not just a shop (yes, it is fine if you buy one of my works!). I care about giving you background stories, ideas and some explanations.

We always see more in an image if we know something about its context and the artist who created it.

This homepage can be seen as a catalogue raisonné.

Appreciations

An author and photographer:

I went through more of your photos this morning. They are incredibly striking, and give an amazing sense of place, and a feeling of being there in the moment. I’ve never seen anything quite like them. I cannot account for why that is, but something about them translates very freely between them and I.”

European theologist, expert in the Middle East and inter-cultural dialogue:

Dear Jan, 
discovering you as an artist 
not a surprise 
since great humans 
like for instance
einstein, planck, 
heisenberg, dürr, 
c.f. von weizsäcker, 
were also musicians, 
erwin schrödinger 
wrote poetry. 

A leading intellectual in the Balkans:

Fyodor Dostoevsky in The Idiot: “Beauty will save the world.” And Jan Oberg will help…

Art connoisseur living in Venice:

“With the ongoing growth of your activities, I find an enormous esteem and liking for all I see and read on your website. It is an honour to know you. Exploring your site did me a world of good.”

US peace & culture working in Paris:

“You cannot imagine how much I would love to come to the opening of your exhibition. I so much enjoyed looking through all the images you have already provided. It is so rich and interesting. And your humanistic and artistic eye behind the camera comes through loud and clear!”

American professor emeritus:

“Wishing you great success from far away with the exhibition. It is so impressive that you do this, and maintain this artistic side of your vibrant sensibility.”

Many thanks. I am humbled, happy and honoured.
