Oana Bakovic

Oana M. Baković is a contemporary art photographer passionate about wild and endangered flora, singular plants, large bodies of water and movement. She was born in the port city of Constanta, on the shores of the Black Sea, to a Croatian father and a Romanian mother. Always passionate about photography, she began by documenting her family's life while working as an advertising professional.

In 2020, Oana finally focused more on her art and identified that her interest lies primarily in the natural world, refining the technique of using a flash with ambient light and sometimes ND filters.

In 2022, following her Sony World Photography Awards win, Aesthetica Magazine wrote, “Baković offers a refreshing take on floral photography. The results are almost alien, bringing out the natural world from within. Seemingly small plants become towering giants before Baković's lens, rendered in rich, saturated color palettes. »

Oana is committed to the cause of preserving the natural world by showing its exquisite beauty in detail, capturing simple magical moments as they happen, and always seeking out unique places where nature rules.

It is essential to mention that she is not a still life photographer. His subjects are alive, in motion, growing or dying and always in their natural environment.

It is her fear of humanity losing its awareness of the surrounding nature that drives her on this journey to capture and share the sometimes overlooked beauty of the world we are a part of. The artist likes to point out "nature's flaws" in his art, and no changes, embellishments or arrangements should add to what nature has created itself.

The only artificial element is the flash, which the artist uses to add a bit of outline to the fantastical microcosms of nature. She usually works during magical hours. The challenge of pursuing interesting angles and intensities of natural light is the backbone of his approach.
