YEREVAN, 28 FEBRUARY, ARMENPRESS. Great patriot, phenomenal painter,
intellectual...The friends and relatives of Martiros Saryan, as well as
art lovers and those who appreciate his work gathered near the statue
of the painter and paid tribute to him on February 28th, which marks
Saryan's birthday. This year marks the painter's 135th birthday
anniversary.
Director of the Home-Museum of Martiros Saryan, the painter's
granddaughter Ruzan Saryan says Saryan was eternal. "We celebrate this
day and take pride once again in the fact that the Armenian nation has
individuals like Martiros Saryan who left a legacy and art that we can
be proud of,"the painter's granddaughter mentioned, as "Armenpress"
reports. Ruzan Saryan is certain that many foreigners view Saryan's
paintings and visit Armenia to see what a heavenly land is portrayed
in his paintings.
Sculptor Levon Tokmajyan is the creator of the statue of Martiros
Saryan. "When I was working on the statue for years, I would ask
myself what Saryan should look like. He described Armenia for us
through his paintings. Armenians have many gifted painters who have
portrayed Mount Ararat, but no painter saw Armenia as Saryan did.
Saryan is the symbol of the Armenian nation. The sun and light are
seen in his art," Levon Tokmajyan mentioned.
