Aidan's work reveals the influence of multiple artistic traditions, reflecting her academy training in Soviet Moscow in the 1980s, her subsequent exposure both to western art history and to contemporary western artists and her own personal investigations into the art and craft of her Azerbaijani and Uzbekistani heritage. In her practice she deconstructs prevailing artistic categorisations, eliding oriental and occidental, Islamic and Byzantine, non-figurative and figurative, ancient and modern. As much of her oeuvre sets out to question and reconsider inherited ideas, particularly as they relate to women and their role in society, her approach in deploying traditional artistic practices frequently involves identifying characteristic elements and reinterpreting them to convey her individual, progressive vision.

I was suggested to look at her work in terms of appearance and not subject matter in terms of her drawings, which are partially similar to my tissue drawing.
