Ali Zülfikar works with traditional Anatolian Wollcolor, like thousands of years ago
from natural products produced by handwork. This is exclusively for textile colors. They have something of the landscape itself, from which they originate. Because this is so, they are extremely valuable to the artist and form the material substance of his paintings. In his studio, he processed it further to the state in which he needs for his work. Ali Zülfikar knows the plants for the production of precursors of these colors are needed and he also knows the areas where these plants grow.

The technique further, he himself developed. In a complicated process, the colors are preserved, and gain the strange lights, the works of the artist is so characteristic. Those Naturhaftigkeit of the substances has a great deal with the thematic content of images Zülfikars to do. We find it both archaic motifs as well as oriental models, such as traditional patterns of the rugs can be used. These subjects are vivid reminders of the everyday culture, the artist for the coming generations would like to keep.
