Private collection

"An artist should not be content with the outward appearance of things, but should strive to penetrate their essence."

Field Poppies is one of Saryan’s most beloved and renowned works, where the beauty of nature is expressed in all its charm.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas. The composition is dominated by bright red poppies, radiating vitality, the warmth of the sun, and the vibrant breath of nature. Saryan captures not only the external beauty of the flowers but also their inner freshness and life force.

The composition is built on emotional perception, color harmony, and expressive impact; each brushstroke breathes with sunlight and the immediacy of nature.
