 Ukrainian artist, Anatoly Dverin, received his M.F.A. from the Kharkov Fine Art Institute in Ukraine. His colorful and impressionistic paintings reflect his Eastern European background. He now resides in Plainville, Massachusetts where he maintains his studio.About the Artist:
Mr. Dverin reached the pinnacle of the Soviet art world in the mid 1960’s, becoming a member of the Artist’s Union of the USSR. Dissatisfied with the political scene, Anatoly and his wife, Lora, applied for permanent exit visas. Anatoly was promptly kicked out of the Artists Union and both he and Lora lost their citizenships, college diplomas and even their driver’s licenses. After several years of intimidation and stress, they were given visas, arriving in New York City in 1976 with $200 to their names. They settled in Boston where Anatoly became a successful commercial artist. More recently, he has been painting “for himself." Finding a peace - deepened by his past challenges - has been rewarding and he enjoys focusing on a variety of subjects including landscapes, portraits and still lifes.
