About

Lucas Benarroch (b. Madrid, Spain) is an artist and designer known professionally as MRKA. He graduated from Parsons, The New School for Design, and spent over a decade in New York City before relocating to Lisbon, where he currently lives and works.

His multidisciplinary practice bridges art and design, exploring the beauty of imperfection, everyday symbolism, and the tension of opposites, often infused with expression and humour. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across New York, Buenos Aires, Cologne, Miami, and Valencia, including Ruttkowski;68, Museo MAR, The Cooper Union, and Casa Axis.

MRKA has produced commercial projects for clients such as NASA, HBO, and Wu-Tang, and has been recognized by the Type Directors Club for typographic excellence. His work is part of the Harvard University collection, and he has been invited to speak at Central Saint Martins in London.
