The masterful large-sized, detailed paintings of portraits on canvas and handmade paper as well as paintings with a traditional Turkish, plant-based woolen color (whose nature is a mystery and an invention of Zülfikar) characterize his high-caliber style. His observation and perception is woven into the canvas with his pencil with the precision of a surgeon in each of his portraits.

The artist succeeds even in the highest goal of every portraitist, to imitate and make visible the soul, the life of a human being, in a very special way.

These people emanate tranquility, looseness, wisdom and dignity, in spite of, or precisely because of their age; They look back at the experiences of existence, which is manifested in their folds, the cracked structures of the skin, and all their incisions. But their gaze - partly awake and distinctly alive, partly mediative - and their bearings integrated in a harmonious line-up, point to a sublimeness that leads to a new, positive interpretation of the theme "age". At the same time, he creates a special flair for the young people in all their diversity and energy and with their hopes in their eyes on the screen.
