Hellberg creates public art, seeking for an interaction between people, artwork and the public space.[3] The intervention he’s seeking is a play upon the memories of an actual place.

To realise a work, he carefully chooses a site depending on its qualities, in order to put out a visual and poetic argument that will draw people’s attention to a seemingly insignificant situation: the urban backdrop of everyday life. The basic function of the work that is placed out in a public space is to change a detail in our everyday life and thereby trigger thoughts in different routes.[citation needed]

Parallel to these activities Hellberg is also exhibiting installations, sculpture and objects in museums and galleries. He has also been a challenging debater on topics surrounding events of art production in the public sphere as well as urban planning in general.

Hellberg teaches regularly as a guest lecturer and examiner at the Valand Academy in Gothenburg.
