"Doina Rotaru has an unique and a very distinguishable style which is founded on an archetypal aesthetic : sound and timbre patterns going back to primary Romanian and trans geographical folklore as well as structural principles of symbolic value and function, circular and spiral shapes , sacred numbers, ancient symboles." (Irinel Anghel) – such as in works like: ”Magic Circles”, “Spiralis”, “L’Éternel Retour”, “Shadows”, “Clocks”, “Uroboros”, “Tempio di fumo”, “Crystals”, “Wings of Light”, “Dor”, ”Troitze”, “Fum”,”Mithya”, “Samaya”, “Vitralii”, “Prana-Apana”and so on.

“Doïna Rotaru s’est imposée par son style tout à fait personnel, original, qu’on ne pourrait point confondre, s’appuyant sur une esthétique des archétypes qui consiste dans l’utilisation de certains modèles de sonorités et timbres détachés d’une ancienne “stratus” du folklore transgéographique (roumain mais aussi de l’Extrême Orient), de même que de certains principes de construction à valeur et fonction symboliques –formes circulaires, en spirale, nombres sacrés, anciens symboles”(I. Anghel), comme dans les oeuvres :”Cercles Magiques”, “Spiralis”, “L’Éternel Retour”, “Shadows”, “Clocks”, “Uroboros”, “Tempio di fumo”, “Crystals”, “Wings of Light”, “Dor”, ”Troïtze”, “Fum”,”Mithya”, “Samaya”, “Vitralii”, “Prana-Apana”…
