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

Mbarkho's work includes multiple outcomes[1] especially digital art practices.[2]

In his digital images[3], as well as in his time-based work[4], he investigates multiple questions related to interactivity[5], language, communication[6], cultural industries, history of art as well as the visual representation[7] within the sociopolitical sphere[8]. Mbarkho's digital images[9] are made from texts[10]. 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 Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, 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 - College of Fine Arts, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

He lives and works in Beirut.
