It is dedicated to the world-famous Armenian artist, founder of the Armenian modern national school of painting, Martiros Saryan (1880-1972).


A sculpture with 5.40 m height made of white Ural marble is placed on a triple-stepped gray basalt pedestal. In the left corner of the lower part of the pedestal, there is a 1.5 x 1.5 m granite slab with the image of eternity, in which is engraved M.  Saryan’s autograph (gilt brass). The name of the artist is engraved in the Russian language in the right corner of the middle step. In the sculpture, Saryan is sitting in a majestic position, holding a palette in his hand.

The white marble creates a soft colour harmony with the green of the park, emphasizing a solemn and pathetic nature of the sculpture.
