Pavlo Bedzir was born in 1926 in the village of Kalyny, Tyachiv district, Zakarpattia region, where he lived until the age of 10. In 1936, the Bedzir family relocated to Svoboda (today known as Badov, part of the village of Danylivka).

In 1944, he graduated from Mukachevo Urban School (in the city of Mukachevo) and enrolled in the Mukachevo Trade Academy. During this period, his interest in yoga, philosophy, and visual arts began to emerge. He studied drawing and painting in Vilmosh Berec's workshop.

In 1946, he entered the Uzhhorod Art and Professional School, where his instructors included Fedir Manailo and Ernest Kontratovych.

From 1947 to 1950, Pavlo Bedzir served in the army. After being demobilized, he returned to Uzhhorod.

On June 19, 1952, he married Yelyzaveta Kremnytska. In 1954, he began working in the workshops of the Art Fund, where his wife also worked. This place became the main hub for the couple’s creative endeavors. They experimented, created, and set up a studio where they painted from life with friends. The artist Ferenc Seman also joined their circle.

In his creative work, Bedzir explored nearly all stages of global avant-garde movements, including Impressionism, Expressionism, Cézannism, and Cubism. 

The tree always remained the foundation, the vertical axis of his artistic thinking. Pavlo often said: "When you look at a tree, it is the internal form of the forest, while the forest is the external form of the tree." Or: "When I discovered Op Art for myself, I looked at the tree not for its trunk or branches, but for the voids between the branches."

Even in his depictions of the human figure, Bedzir relied not on naturalistic characteristics but on internal structure and constructive logic.

Pavlo Bedzir passed away in 2002. He is buried in Uzhhorod beside his wife.
