Konstantin Avdeev

Konstantin Avdeev (Beider) was born in 1954 in a Siberian village under Stalin's command supervision. His parents and relatives were deported as Germans to Siberia, where they were forced into labor. In the 1960s, Beider grew up in the North Caucasian town of Mineralnye Vody. He early tested his artistic talent at an art school for children before obtaining his diploma as an art educator in 1973 after training at the Art Vocational School in Stavropol. Working as an art teacher, he soon received extensive commissions from renowned publishers in Moscow for book illustrations and the design of calendars and artistic postcards.

His move with his family to Zittau in the German border triangle in 1999 provided him with a larger presentation framework: exhibitions of his works followed in Zittau, Löbau, Görlitz, and Dresden. His commitment to the children's villa in Zittau produced an image brochure for the city of Zittau, whose design was largely undertaken by children under his professional guidance. In 2010, Beider moved again, this time to Wiesbaden. Here, he followed the call of the association "ErfolgReichLeben e.V." for which he took over the management of the art school. This is how Beider describes his art:

“My works are characterized by a versatile richness of ideas. They relate to the simplest life aspects to excursions into almost abstract depictions of human fate themes between life and death. They repeatedly address our eternal questions about the meaning and purpose of life – serious questions that demand an appropriate artistic representation. Beyond academic constraints, I have developed my own style, characterized by a fine sense of pencil handling, a mood-filled and objective representation, simple materials, and modern digital media, a clear graphic language, and an intuitive feel for a romantic-fairytale atmosphere.”

It is clear that, alongside classical work with brush and paint, he does not shy away from new techniques: the use of modern digital printing techniques offers Konstantin Beider not only the opportunity to gently expand the representation horizon of his artistic tasks but also to present his works to a larger audience in a contemporary medium.
