Zulfiqar Ali Zulfi
Born in Dera Ghazi Khan, Zulfiqar Ali Zulfi is one of Pakistan’s most esteemed realist painters, celebrated for his exquisite landscapes that capture the serene beauty of Punjab’s countryside. A graduate of the National College of Arts, Lahore (1989), Zulfi has spent over two decades perfecting his craft. His remarkable ability to manipulate light and shadow, particularly through chiaroscuro, has earned him critical acclaim both locally and internationally. Zulfi’s paintings transcend realism; they are deeply evocative vignettes of rural and urban settings. His works, often cloaked in misty mornings or glowing with the warmth of sunlight, invite the viewer to experience the seasons and times of day in a tangible way. From foggy horizons to bustling urban corners, his mastery of observation and execution allows his audience to "feel the breeze and smell the grass." His art is featured in prestigious collections such as Governor House, Punjab Assembly, National Art Gallery in Islamabad, and even the President’s House in Turkey. A recipient of the Pride of Performance award, Zulfi has showcased his works in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide.
