Oma Forest, a large modern work of art by Basque painter and sculptor Agustin Ibarrola, is nestled within the UNESCO-listed Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, near Kortezubi, Guernica, and Bilbao. Known as ‘the animated forest,’ this unique land art transforms pine trees into canvases adorned with vivid, abstract geometric, anthropomorphic, and animal shapes. Visitors can wander through the forest, surrounded by the striking colors and patterns that bring the natural landscape to life, creating an immersive and visually engaging experience.
