Born in Beirut in 1974, Ricardo Mbarkho is an artist living in Lebanon.
He uses multiple mediums to reflect on (un)communicational situations. In his aesthetic approach, he questions a society where the breakdown of social cohabitation is preciously maintained and frozen into a continuous struggle over power and belonging. In his recent works, he manipulates different layers of significations by investigating multiple questions related to language, communication, creative industries, history of art as well as the visual representation within the sociopolitical sphere, where he uses the computer as a tool to transcend texts into images.
