She was the sister of painter Yeranuhi Aslamazian. A large collection of their works is kept at the Aslamazian Sisters' Museum in their native Gyumri.
Aslamazian was the student of Stepan Aghajanian and Petrov-Vodkin. Her paintings evoke the dramatic, colorful themes of the period of her life.
While critics argue the relative strengths of her paintings, her exquisite ceramic plates are universally proclaimed masterpieces.[1]
