Art
Saryan was a modernist artist. More specifically, his work has been generally characterized as a Post-Impressionist, while Peter Balakian called it avant-garde. Saryan's art has been compared to those of Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse. One author called his work an "attractive halfway house between Matisse and the Persian art he sometimes resembles."

Art critics have noted the influence of European modernism, namely Matisse and Paul Gauguin, but also the Russian painters Valentin Serov and Konstantin Korovin.

Saryan has been credited with reviving the "colour schemes of medieval Armenian manuscript illumination in landscape and still-life painting."

Evolution
His earlier works, associated with Blue Rose have been described as neo-primitivism, containing the influence of Symbolism and Fauvism.

John Ellis Bowlt In the case of Saryan and, later Kuznetsov, the post-Blue Rose period was marked by a return to 'life' in the form of their escape to the primitive East (Armenia and Kirghizia) with its vivid colours, arid clarity and rural beauty.

the postrevolutionary work of Soviet-Armenian master Martiros Saryan bears virtually no relationship to that of his Impressionist period at the turn of the century

State symbols
In July 1919 Saryan proposed a rainbow flag for the First Republic of Armenia in a letter to Prime Minister Alexander Khatisian. He justified the colors "It would suit us, as an Eastern people,to have the multi-colored flag, which is manifested by the charming and ever-beautiful rainbow." It was not adopted by the government of Armenia.
