Today we visited the Martiros Saryan Museum and explored many of his remarkable paintings. I noticed that Saryan pays great attention to small details, and each of his works carries a deep and thoughtful meaning.
One painting that truly stood out to me was Three Years. It portrays Saryan at three different stages of his life – as a child, a young man, and an old man. It’s the only painting that left a strong impression on me.
The first period, “Fairy Tales and Dreams” features watercolor paintings using the wet paper technique, blending fantasy and folklore. The second period, influenced by his travels to Egypt, is more vibrant, incorporating symbols like pyramids, masks, and the Armenian symbol of eternity.
After returning to Armenia, Saryan built his home, designed by architect Alexander Tamanyan. In 1967, a museum was added beside it, making him one of the rare artists to witness the opening of a museum dedicated to his work during his lifetime.
After the museum, we went out to eat and enjoyed a pleasant time together.
