Sevak Asrian was born in Stepanakert, Artsakh.

“I started taking photographs at the age of 14. The first teacher was Dad. He taught me to photograph on film and print photos in a home darkroom. Mostly, I photographed my native Artsakh. Unfortunately, I couldn’t capture much, but I can say that I have, perhaps, the largest archive of photographs of Artsakh” – S. Asrian.

Sevak Asrian is the author of the photo project The Power of Memory, which presented hundreds of photographs of Armenian cultural monuments and landscape photographs taken in the territories of Artsakh until 2020. Prize-winner of the Armenian stage of the international competition Wiki Loves Monuments – 2022. One of Sevak Asrian’s photos was included in the top 50 photographs of the competition finals. At the international competition Wiki Loves Earth – 2023, Sevak’s photographs were presented in the international final.
