The artist reported: the main mistake was that she chose the man's husband, who is also busy in art.
In addition, Aidan after the gap and decided that the marriage is not her. Family in her understanding is not an easy and even heavy project. The woman loved his own business much more and, trying to break between work and his spouse, began to lose and there, and there.

Creation
In 1989, the graduate of the institute named after V. I. Surikov, together with Alexander Yakut and Evgeny Mitta, was the first gallery in Moscow. The purpose of young figures was to introduce the public with the projects of artists of a conceptual avant-garde. After 3 years, Salahova opened his own establishment - Aidan-gallery.
At the first exhibition, the granddaughter of the famous Tamara Khanum did not provide any of her work. But the creativity of Sergey Volkov was illuminated, her husband Mount Chakhala, Alexander Nepladnikova. Now the former gallery officer regrets that in 1992 he started this business, and did not invest in art.
In the biography of celebrities there were also scandalous moments. In the expositions of Salahova, a great place was given to the "reverse" side of love. Frankly, she told about the unsightly moments with whom it is necessary to face a woman - about heavy childbirth, abortions.
A vivid example is the installation of the Golden Confession, in which the artist combines an elegant picture in the style of salon painting with drawings depicting gynecological devices and even pathological embryos. The works "Poor Mom" and "abortions" caused an excitement from a foreign audience.
The interest of Salahova to the East led her to frequent use in the projects of the girl's image in Paranje. The sculptor sought to convey the closed and therefore the mounted world of Muslims, which is hidden behind the hijab. She also tried to portray two topics in one exhibition - Islamic tradition and sexuality.
The result was shocking for the author. In June 2011, the work of a talented artist was presented in the Venetian Biennale and were severely criticized from the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. The political actor was not to taste two objects - "the upcoming" and "black stone".
The head negatively responded by the fact that at the international exhibition his state will be represented by Muslim art. And "black stone" and counted at all insulting Islam.
By the way, the Venetian incident only caused an excitement around a talented person - Italian TV presenter and politician Vittorio Zgarbi offered to postpone the installation in Jardini.
