From 1992, he has worked as a wood &#8211; carver cutting both traditional and more modern patterns into wood canvasses. Though he began as a painter and drawer, he eventually turned to wood &#8211; drawing. He has since met with great success, and had his works displayed in countries across the world, including Iran, Russia, Norway and Sweden.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Saleddin has taken on several students in the past few years and has encouraged them to pursue the art professionally. He does, however, regret that local Azerbaijanis seem to be less interested in the art than are foreigners, who often send him orders from abroad.\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/az\/saleddins-workshop-in-ganja\/\" alt=\"Saleddin\u2019s workshop in Ganja\" class=\"wp-image-71203\"\/><figcaption>\n    Saleddin\u2019s workshop in Ganja<br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/az\/to-turn-out-one-piece-it-takes-him-about-1-2-weeks\/\" alt=\"To turn out one piece, it takes him about 1 &#8211; 2 weeks\" class=\"wp-image-71206\"\/><figcaption>\n    To turn out one piece, it takes him about 1 &#8211; 2 weeks<br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/az\/i-regret-that-our-own-people-are-less-interested-in-my-work-than-are-foreigners\/\" alt=\"\u201cI regret that our own people are less interested in my work than are foreigners\u2026\u201d\" class=\"wp-image-71212\"\/><figcaption>\n    \u201cI regret that our own people are less interested in my work than are foreigners\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/az\/tools-saleddin-uses-while-carving-on-wood-canvasses\/\" alt=\"Tools Saleddin uses while carving on wood canvasses\" class=\"wp-image-71215\"\/><figcaption>\n    Tools Saleddin uses while carving on wood canvasses<br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though he began as a painter and drawer, he eventually turned to wood &#8211; drawing.
