Participant of numerous home and foreign exhibitions. Organizer of an artistic social-targeted group named "Strontium-90." One of the founders of the "Revival" arts center. He was born in Kiev city eleven years and five days after B-29 Enola Gay bomber dropped the atomic bomb on Japanese city of Hiroshima. A figurative view of the artist was crystallized inside the depths of the Kiev's artistic underground in the mid-70th of XX century. The artist implements his creative potential in painting, graphical works, installations, photography, and poetic lines. Beginning from 1982, he develops an artistic concept named "C.D.Tralfrealism." From the late 1990s', he works in a co-authorship with tralfrealistic painter woman Tatyana Chebrova. Admirers of the tralfrealism already have a possibility of looking at their joint projects, such as "The Universe - Open Contact" (1999) and "VENTA: ART CLINIC" (2000).

In his paintings, Goleiko brings out on the surface of traditional imagination the latent things existing under the cover of everyday reality. He invites the dedans to fascinating trip beyond the bounds of our concepts. Artistic world of the master is a modeled space-time in which new artifacts of existence come to live...

- National Museum of Ukrainian History, Kiev.
