The sisters applied to the Vkutemas Higher Art and Technical Studios․ However, only Mariam was accepted there, and Eranuhi entered the studio of painters Vladimir Favorsky and Andrei Goncharov.[3] Life in Moscow was challenging for the Aslamazyan sisters, and after a year, they had to go back to Yerevan.[3]

Having returned to Yerevan, Aslamazyan started to work in a kindergarten and designed decorations for several city holidays. Two years later she moved to Kharkiv to study at the art institute and then was transferred to the Leningrad Academy of Fine Arts.[3] From 1931 to 1937, she studied at Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture of All-Russian Academy of Arts and graduated with honor.[2]
