Oleh Min’ko was born in 1938 in the town of Makivka in Donetsk obl.
In 1965 he graduated from Lviv State Institute of Decorative and Applied Art. His teachers were Roman Sels’kyi, Karlo Zviryns’kyi and D.Dovboshyns’kyi.  

From 1982 he has been working at the Lviv State Institute of Decorative and Applied Art (now – Lviv National Academy of Art). He is a chief of a department, professor and honored artist of Ukraine.

Min’ko started his artistic practice in 1960. His talent was shaped by the so-called “catacomb” group of artists – shistdesyatnyky (the artists of the 1960s’)  - R. Petruk, Zynoviy Flinta, Andriy Bokotey, P.Markovych, B.Soyka, Ivan Marchuk, Liubomyr Medvid’, Oleh Min’ko), which was resisting the dominant regime and ideology. Because of this, he suffered from persecution and only returned to painting in 1978.

From 1980’s to 2000’s Min’ko’s works took part in many national and international exhibitions.
