وُلد عام 1993 في الأحساء بالمنطقة الشرقية بالمملكة العربية السعودية. يُقيم ويعمل في الأحساء.
استمد محمد الفرج اهتمامه بالطبيعة والبيئة من انتمائه إلى واحة الأحساء، وهو ما قاده أيضًا إلى ممارسة فنية متعددة الأبعاد، سواء كان ذلك في هيئة فيديو، أو صوت، أو تصوير أو تركيب أو رسم أو كتابة. يعمل راويًا قصصيًّا ماهرًا في النطاق الحافل بين التقليدي والمعاصر، والخيال والواقع. يدعو محمد الفرج الجمهور للسفر عبر رواياته المُتخيلة،
ويتعامل مع أعماله باعتبارها لعبة، ويرى الفن استجمامًا يوميًّا، فتتميز ممارساته بالمرح أكثر من كونها تجريبية، ويتجلى ذلك من خلال القصص المتراكبة في مجموعاته الفوتوغرافية، وطريقته في تجميع وتفكيك وإعادة بناء الموضوعات الخيالية وغير الخيالية. فنان بصري يحاول التقاط أثر الحياة وبصمتها وتأثيرها بشكل حرفي ومجازي، يشارك الفرج في ورش العمل والأنشطة المجتمعية. عمل الفنان سابقًا كمُصمم برامج في مهرجان الأفلام السعودية ومهرجان بيت الشعر بالدمام.
عُرضت أعمال الفرج في حي جميل في جدة عام 2023، وبينالي ليون عام 2022، ومؤسسة الشارقة للفنون عام 2019، ولو موراتي باك في فلورنسا عام 2019، وأثر غاليري في جدة عام 2018، و21،39 فنون جدة عامي 2017 و2019، ومهرجان أفلام السعودية في الدمام عام 2015، ومهرجان دبي السينمائي الدولي عام 2014.
