Ricardo Mbarkho (25 January 1974 in Beirut, Lebanon), is a Lebanese contemporary artist.

Mbarkho's work includes multiple outcomes especially digital art practices.[1]

In his digital images[2] as well as in his time-based work, he investigates multiple questions related to language, communication,[3] cultural industries, history of art as well as the visual representation within the sociopolitical sphere. Mbarkho's digital images are made from texts.[4] 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.
