Mohammad Bin Lamin is a famous Libyan artist born in the town of Misurata in 1969. After having graduated in ship maintenance, he started working as a completely self-taught artist in the field of painting, sculpture, photography, and computer graphic design. Moreover, he is also a poet. To realize his works, he takes inspiration from his homeland Libya: indeed, his works refer to Libyan landscapes, such as the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, and to Libyan history and tradition, like the cave paintings in the southern mountains. Mohammad Bin Lamin is especially known to have invented new painting techniques and artistic methods – still today unrevealed – for instance, the use of burned photographic paper. Also, his six months-long experience of imprisonment at the Abu Salim prison during the February 2011-Revolution led him to enlarge his creativity by drawing on the walls and on food containers and, after his release, he began recycling was materials such as empty bullets in order to make sculptures.
