Flowers of perished heroes 1976

"Flowers of Perished Heroes" (1976) is a vibrant oil painting by Armenian artist Mariam Aslamazian (1907-2006). The large-scale canvas depicts a profusion of colorful flowers, particularly poppies and other wildflowers, creating a striking visual statement. The painting's title suggests a somber undertone, reflecting the artist's personal experience with loss and remembrance. Aslamazian's bold brushstrokes and vivid palette evoke a sense of both beauty and fragility, mirroring the cyclical nature of life and death. The work is a powerful example of Aslamazian's signature style, which often explored themes of nature and the passage of time.
