Gleb Goloubetski was born in Omsk, Russia, a Siberian town, in 1975 into an artist's family. His father, who died when Gleb was 6, was a Merited Artist of the Soviet Union who painted mostly historical events and his grandfather was an architect. His mother currently owns a gallery in Omsk.

Gleb's talent was discovered during his early childhood and he began selling his work at the age of 15. He studied at an Art Academy in St Petersburg and from 1989-1995 continued as a student in the Master Class of Valerij Kulikov, a famous academic artist in Russia.

Traveling is a favorite pastime of Goloubetski, especially to the sunny countries such as  Greece, Italy, Egypt, Thailand, Maldives and Brazil. He visits these countries for  weeks at a time so that he can feel the colors, forms and the spirit of the country. To capture these impressions he makes hundreds of drawings and upon his return to his studio, he translates them into paintings.  During these visits he paints a lot, conccentrating on interesting houses, flowers, interiors and the contrast of light and dark.

To relax, Goloubetski spends time in the mountains of Baikal Lake to be with nature.

Golubetski shows his work in Prague, where he currently lives, as well as Germany and London. His paintings are also kept in private collections in many countries around the world.
