Du Rhone’s artworks evolve around the theme of `Meditative ́s landscape. ‘ The artist attempts to simplify the landscape elements to reflect the spiritual order underlying visual communication, creating a transparent and universal aesthetic language within her paintings.

Confronted by the natural environment, perhaps with an outsider’s eye as an advantage, she gradually recognises her surroundings’ wonderful uniqueness and beauty. Relaxing and communing with these surroundings made her want to express this awakening in her art.

Zen Buddhism, which focuses on individual enlightenment through daily experiences and meditation, gradually influenced Du Rhone’s art. She explores the actual physical and mental experiences of painting as her means of meditation. She attempts to represent the mystical emotion and harmony she feels from the surrounding landscape by applying repetitive hand-drawn vertical and horizontal colour-filled lines to pull the viewer into a meditative state of being. In the process of producing the artwork, the artist is also in a constant state of meditation, just as viewing the artwork can achieve a meditative state without meditation.
