Jan K.

Art Historian in Vienna
About Jan

Like many before me, I'm an adopted Viennese — drawn to this city by its artistic brilliance and historical grandeur. As an art historian, Vienna felt like a natural calling: a place where history and creativity converge. But beyond its cultural allure, what truly captivated me was Vienna's cosmopolitan spirit and its people's quiet dedication to a balanced, high-quality life.

I was born in Oslo in 1988 and raised in some of Norway's most international communities, surrounded by Norwegian, French, English, and Polish. After completing my degree in Art History, I set off to explore the world beyond Norway, chasing inspiration across continents.

Over the past decade, I've worked as a professional storyteller, sharing history, art, and culture in major cities across Europe, the U.S., and Canada. Since 2017, Vienna has been my home and base of operations, where I guide and organize tours that give visitors an authentic glimpse into the region's rich history and vibrant culture.

In 2025, I also founded Kepinski Studio, a family-run creative salon, studio, and gallery for art, photography, and podcasts. When I'm not sharing Vienna's stories on the streets, you'll find me painting in oils, building a community of creatives at the studio, producing travel content, or heading out of the city for a long, challenging hike through Austria's landscapes. At home, I share my life with two lively caique parrots, Napoleon and Sisi.

With a worldly perspective and a passion for teaching through humor and storytelling, I craft tour experiences that bring history, art, and culture to life — leaving a lasting impression on everyone who joins me.
