Praised by prominent art critics, Oana M. Baković’s photography brings a dynamic and refreshing take on floral and nature imagery. With words like 'playful,' 'adventurous,' and 'engaging' from reviews by Life Framer and Lensculture, her work consistently stands out for its captivating blend of artistry and storytelling.

"I’m intrigued by your images that bring a creative twist to a common theme of nature, which in your work is anything but common, instead they are striking and original images. There’s theatrical quality comes from your creative use of light as you combine ambient, flash and filters. Certainly color plays a strong role in the surreal feel as well."

"Romanian artist Oana Baković presents hyperreal depictions of flowers and plants. In the above image, bright purple petals stand out against an endless sea of lurid green stems. Taken from intriguing, low-down perspectives, Baković offers a fresh take on floral photography. The results are almost alien, highlighting the natural world from the inside. Seemingly small plants become towering giants in front of Baković’s lens, rendered in rich and saturated colour palettes."

"There is something playful, exciting and adventurous about how you are photographing these scenes. And there's no doubt that you are challenging the typical photography that is made of flowers and plants - your photographs feel fresh and contemporary."

"My overall impression is that your work is very strong, well-formed and cohesive. It’s engaging, absorbing, and artful, and you exhibit a clear technical ability alongside adeptness for storytelling. It’s the type of work that has an immediate visual draw, but then offers elements that slowly reveal themselves and linger, and that’s a powerful combination. It’s the type of work that I return to with anticipation."
