Ricardo Mbarkho (25 January 1974 in Beirut, Lebanon), is a Lebanese contemporary artist.
Mbarkho's work includes The Lebanese National Tabbouleh Day[1][2] and digital art practices.[3]
In his digital images[4] as well as in his time-based work, he investigates multiple questions related to language, communication,[5] cultural industries, history of art as well as the visual representation within the sociopolitical sphere. Mbarkho's digital images are made from texts.[6] He uses the computer as a tool to mutate texts into images; the text's binary codes are transposed into a unique corresponding visual.
Mbarkho received his art diplomas from École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts and École supérieure d'études cinématographiques, Paris, and from Institut supérieur des beaux-arts, Beirut. He also completed an exchange study program at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
He lives and works in Beirut, where he is currently teaching art at the Académie libanaise des beaux-arts – University of Balamand.
