He was born into an Armenian family in Nakhichevan-on-Don (now part of Rostov-on-Don, Russia). In 1895, aged 15, he completed the Nakhichevan school and from 1897 to 1904 studied at the Moscow School of Arts, including in the workshops of Valentin Serov and Konstantin Korovin. He was heavily influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse. He exhibited his works in various shows. He first visited Armenia, then part of the Russian Empire, in 1901. After spending the second half of the 1920s in Paris, Saryan returned to the Soviet Union and from 1928 until his death, he lived in Soviet Armenia "Life is an island. People come out of the sea, cross the island, and return to the sea. But this short life is long and beautiful. In getting to know nature man exalts the wonder and beauty of life." - Martiros Saryan Martiros Saryan park, Yerevan Sculptor Levon Tokmajyan, 1986 3. Blossoming trees 1914 4.
