She waits for her sons 1960

Mariam Aslamazian's 1960 painting "She waits for her sons" depicts a woman in traditional Armenian clothing, seated on a patterned rug, knitting. The painting has a somber tone, with the woman's veiled face and the framed photographs of her sons, who are likely soldiers, adding to the sense of waiting and anticipation. The image is evocative of the complexities of motherhood and loss, as well as the cultural traditions and narratives that surround the experience of war. The painting is a testament to Aslamazian's talent for capturing the human condition through intimate and emotionally resonant imagery.
