When in 2002 S.T.F.A. were looking for an appropriate way to commemorate their 30 year working relationship with Libya, they again decided upon a commissioned portrait. STFA and Libya have collaborated to develop contemporary and innovative designs and visions in the field of construction. It seemed appropriate to commission a contemporary style portrait of Libya’s leading statesman: Colonel Gadhafi. The long-term vision for Libya has been partly implemented by land development and construction undertaken by STFA, who have been at the forefront of such ventures for 30 years, building international relationships and helping to realise the visions of nations.
