About Paradise Forest

Forest of Paradise is also known as Colorful forest. The latter name seems more appropriate to me. It is a project by the artist Mihai Țopescu. The project is called "Land Art" and is part of the "Manifest for Nature" cycle.

In the colorful forest

This project is an artistic cry against deforestation abuses in Romania. The artist thought to paint the tree trunks of the Dumbrava Forest in different colors, with weather-resistant paints. It is a place where you can enjoy the view, rest for a few minutes, get closer to nature and love it.
