UPDATES

🪭 I was in China for three weeks in October 2025.
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. I have just published Part 2 – Surroundings of Shen’ao.

🪭 The info and news you used to see here on my front page are now on Oberg PhotoGraphics on Substack.
It’s a whole new experience for watching and reading! And a great extension of this homepage. That’s also where you will find my “PostArt” Newsletter starting with #130.

I have put a lot of energy and care into Oberg PhotoGraphics Magazine on Substack.

“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 is 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.

Subscribe to this new culture magazine on Substack. It is free forever.

🪭 The present exhibition is in my studio. Text and video of it here.

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. 

An art collector in New York:

“Some of your works are museum-quality, and many pieces resonate with me both emotionally and conceptually. Those I like the most represent a different cultural and historical dimensions of your practice, and as a collector, I value that range. Your images stood out immediately because they carry something many digital pieces lack – a sense of stillness and historical weight. The composition and atmosphere in works like The Entombment feel closer to classical painting than to typical digital editions, and that is precisely what caught my attention.”

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 woman 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.
