Moscow exhibits Gaddafi’s daughter’s art, painted in the slain Libyan leader’s honour

A Russian state museum is mounting an exhibit of artwork by the daughter of slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, dedicated to her father’s memory. Aisha Gaddafi, 47, is the fifth child and only biological daughter of Gaddafi, who ruled the North African country from 1969 until he was captured and killed in 2011 by rebels during the NATO-backed uprising that toppled him.

On Friday, the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow opened a six-week exhibit of dozens of her artworks, including a painting of a crowd hovering over the corpses of her father and her brother who was killed alongside him. The painting shows members of the crowd using smartphones to snap pictures of the bodies.

“Today, I show these works for the first time to honour my father and my brother on the anniversary of their deaths,” she told reporters ahead of the opening. “I can tell you that these pictures are painted not with my hand, but with my heart.”
