His work is expressive yet refined, and embodies mythological symbolism, exquisite figurative characters, and Old World Craftsmanship with a high level of authority, creativity, and integrity. When commissioned, Oberti's sensibilities often integrate his patrons aesthetics within the architectural context of any given design challenge. He feels strongly that each clients heritage, lifestyle, and belief systems are important considerations that can influence and inspire inclusion in his design process.

Completion of his Master of Arts degree under Herbert Sanders began a successful exhibition career with numerous awards, invitationals, and one man shows. He has taught at City College of San Francisco, and lectured and demonstrated for several colleges and art institutions. He has a truly cosmopolitan flair and knowledge of ceramic forms and traditions from throughout the world. Oberti's recent works blend his early studies of Japanese form with his current interest in his own Mediterranean heritage. Recent travels in France, Italy, Egypt, Crete, and Athens inspire and stimulate his fresh perspective on Ancient Wisdom.

Oberti's contemporary works embrace universal concepts about time, space, reverence, and beauty. His pieces evoke a sense of harmony that reflect humanity's relationship to symbols and forms that uplift our spirits, and instill a tenor of contemplative solace.

Recent commissions and the current demand for Oberti's sensitive and inspirational works are the natural reflection of his commitment to artistic excellence.

Regarding current works, Daniel Oberti writes: “Time, measurement, celestial observation, alchemy, art, astronomy, and mathematical laws all combine within sculpted ceramic forms which provoke considerations and thought about the present moment. My work reflects upon understanding the geometry inherent in nature, constructs of the intellect, and a synthesis of the archaic and the contemporary. They exemplify vastly different physical scales from centimetres and meters to star paths that are thousands of light years in size.

The work evolves around forms and visual icons that foster contemplation of one’s assumptions about the passage of time and the insignias of action, which are ‘Time Essential.’ My intent is to create work that reflects upon these mysteries and fundamental understandings of time, light, and space.”
