Biography
Fedir Pavlovych Bezverkhnyev was born in 1918 a little village
of Kaverzino of Ivanivska region of the Russian Federation. Here,
on the shorelines of the great river Volga, he spent his
childhood. For as long as he remembers himself, he was drawn to
the numerous landscapes and wanted to transfer the views he’s
seen to paper. So he would take a pencil and paper, walk to the
picturesque shoreline of the river Volga and try to reflect the
surrounding beauty.
After graduating from school, in the year 1939, he was drafted
to the 333rd Rifle regiment that was dislocated in the fortress
of Brest.
Then there was World War II and he, together with the millions
of others, found himself in the whirlpool of war. Many sketches
appeared in his notepad during the war years. They reflected
what he had seen: the burnt down villages, destroyed cities –
the horrible pictures of the Nazi invasion of his motherland.
After the war, the fate has sent Fedir Pavlovych to
Transcarpathia. He started his work there as a teacher in the
Uzhgorod Middle School No. 1, where he organized the drawing
class that soon grew into a respectable studio.
Fedir Pavlovych has started painting in
1948. His favorite genres are landscapes and still life,
although there are also quite a few portraits and figural
compositions in his collection. One of his theme works was
gifted to the Museum of the Brest Fortress .
In 1980 Fedir Pavlovych was awarded a title of a Merited Master
of the Fine Art of Ukraine. Even this high title does not fully
reflect the true value of him as an artist, whose name is also
known abroad.
For many years the talented painter has been elected as a
member of the Regional Union of Painters and Masters of the Fine
Art. In 1997 he started to reanimate the work of the Uzhgorod
Artistic Union “The Colors of Carpathia”.
Being in love with the Transcarpathian nature, Fedir Pavlovych
paints a lot of landscapes where every
part of nature is filtered through his imagination receiving a
unique meaning and its own mood.
With every new painting, the painter himself has undergone a
rebirth, being strong and unshakable in the face of the everyday
problems.
