Hello,
Welcome to my Personal Website.

My name is Ricardo Mbarkho. I am an artist and I also teach art at the Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts (Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts), Beirut. In this site you can find things about my Biography, my Works, and some Lectures and Workshops as well as a Bibliography. I also added a What's new section where I often post my art related news...

PS: My name, in this site or elsewhere, appears in several languages or spellings: Mbarkho, M'Barko, Mbarak, Mbaaraq, Moubarak, etc., depending on the period in which it was written. Thank you to update your address book to Ricardo Mbarkho.
