Still a teenager he knew for sure that he would be a painter. When he was 12 he left his parents` home to enter an All-Belorussian Music and Fine Arts School. Later Uladzimir entered the Easel-Painting Department of Belorussian Academy of Arts. He graduated from it in 1977 acquiring in this way the best professional artistic education available in his country.</div> <bR> <div> At the very start of his creative activity Golub, like many of his contemporaries, experienced the expansion of the official Soviet art on the one hand, and the emasculation of late avant-garde on the other. It made him search for his own style. Currently his style represents a combination of realism and fantasy. Inspired by the images of West-Slavic mythology, the painter created his own symbolic-allegorical landscape inhabited by the Spirits of Nature. </div> <bR> <div> Success came to the original master of fantastic imagination early. Museums paid for his pictures much more than for the ones offered by other Byelorussian painters. Famous art critics wrote about him in the "Mastatstva" magazine issued under the auspices of the Belorussian Ministry of Culture. Polish, Lithuanian and German papers and magazines on arts also published pictures of works by Golub more than once.</div> <bR> <div> Now the painter and his family live in Vilnius. There he co-operates with local art galleries. He often leaves Vilnius for Poland to take part in plain-airs or for Grodno, an ancient town in Belorussia, to work in the tranquil atmosphere of his first studio where 20 years ago he conceived a series of ancestor myths.</div> <bR> <div> In 1999 on the occasion of opening his regular personal exhibition in Grodno Uladzimir Golub was given a medal "For services to fine arts", the highest award of the Belorussian Union of Artists.</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
