[1], in Digital collection of the Princeton University Library[2] Olena Golub was born on December 25, 1951, in Kyiv, in Soviet Ukraine, to an intellectual family.

Golub's career began with opposition to the Socialist Realism in a circle of underground artists, when she was writing in the style of Expressionism.

In 1977 they organized an exhibition with artists including Golub, Yuriy Kosin, Nik Niedzelski, Mikola Trehub, Vudon Baklitsky, Alexander Kostetsky, and Nicholas Zalevsky.

The second period in Golub's art career is associated with the revival of civic activities and the advent of private galleries, where she began to exhibit new works.

Art critic Nina Sayenko wrote: "Turning to contemporary computer technologies, the artist, as is her custom, pungently felt the pulse and rhythm of the time.

One cannot but wish to become one of the characters she has created, the Yellow Hare, rising high above our omnivorous globalization and broad expansion of the mass media and fill oneself with the sense of freedom and independence.

On the HEAA president Ágnes HAász's invitation she went to Budapest with a solo exhibition (curators Denes Ruzsa and Fruzsina Spitzer).

[13] The Hungarian art critic Gabor Pataki noted: "She calls her method as «narrative constructivism», in which you can see the embodiment of the ideas of the photomontage discoverers Rodchenko, Klutsis and Lissitzky.

"[14]With the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022 O. Golub expresses her civic position with a series of anti-war digital works and participates in exhibitions in Ukraine, Bulgaria, France and publishes articles.
