Amrei C. Jarosch
Amrei C. Jarosch is a contemporary artist based in Doha, Qatar. Her practice encompasses painting, mixed media, mosaic and site-specific art, exploring the relationship between material, memory and space .
Working across studio and architectural contexts, she works primarily with oil on canvas, alongside mineral and architectural materials used particularly in murals and mosaics. Her work evolves through the relationship between image, space and material.
She explores themes of memory, transition, and quiet presence. Landscapes, figures, and ornamental elements function as inner orientation rather than literal depictions—fragments reflecting lived experience, personal phases, and emotional states. Many works arise from the processing of personal events and transformations.
Her process is slow and layered, allowing traces of time and labor to remain visible. She is interested in the tension between permanence and transience, stillness and movement, and in transforming what time has left us into a renewed form and aesthetic.
Alongside studio work she creates site-specific and commissioned artworks in Qatar and internationally for collectors, residences, hotels, restaurants, offices, private and architectural spaces. These projects are shaped by their particular surroundings and by the dialogue between art, architecture, material and place.
In her paintings, she works with parables and emotional interpretations of lived experience, seeking an aesthetic language that balances depth and lightness. Whether working on canvas, with mineral materials, or directly in relation to architecture, her work invites a quiet engagement with memory, transformation and the passage of time.
