Anatoly Chernishov
Senior Instructor/Consultant
Anatoly was born in 1947 in Eberswald, East Germany. His family moved back to Soviet Union when he was 2 years old. He studied for six full years and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree, with Honors, from the Tbilisi State Academy of the Arts in Tbilisi, Georgia, USSR. Right after college Anatoly established himself in the USSR as a promising young artist and became a member of a “Georgian Art Union” – an achievement usually reserved for more mature artists.
From 1970 to 1978 Chernishov’s art was shown in exhibitions, museums and galleries across many republics of the Soviet Union. The list of galleries and museums that exhibited his work include:
• The State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg
• Galleries in Tbilisi, Moscow, Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), Riga and Kiev
But Anatoly has had bigger ambitions for his work.
He came to the United States in 1978 as a refugee in search of creative freedom. Leaving behind his family, friends and a successful, established career.
After settling in the Bronx, NY he has built his career up from the very bottom to become a highly sought-after freelance artist and illustrator. He was one of the first artists who transitioned in the early 1990’s from traditional and airbrush art to computer generated art. His clients include prestigious advertising agencies and publications worldwide such as Mercedes Benz, Footlocker, Saatchi & Saatchi and many others. Anatoly is also a Certified Medical Illustrator.
Since 1988 Anatoly moved to Bergen County and continued to work from his home studio in Mahwah, New Jersey. He was able to concentrate more on painting and creating art for himself.
Painting portraits has been Anatoly’s passion since he was about 10 years old. After establishing himself in commercial art he continues to master new techniques and textures in several traditional media including: oil, acrylic, pastel and charcoals.
After obtaining commercial success for the past 25 years, he has again begun painting portraits on commission. Anatoly Chernishov’s works are in private and public collections in the USA, Russia, Latvia, Republic of Georgia and Germany. He has been a mentor and inspiration for many creative people since 1970.
We are very happy and fortunate to have Anatoly as one of our professional instructors.
