For all the fans of Tomasz Sętowski I have something to
share with you about the private life of the great artist. I found this
information by accident whilst searching the web. Almost a year ago a Polish
local paper from Częstochowa (it is Sętowski's city) posted an article and
photos about the place where he is living. The article is in Polish but the
images are in a universal language.
Here is the link: Tomasz Setowski and his house
The house belonged to a well known artist, Marian Michalik, who was also Sętowski's teacher. In his paintings Michalik used the technique of the XVII century Dutch masters of still life, giving the images a touch of magic realism. Over the last few years Sętowski has become known worldwide as one of the most prominent representatives of the style called "Magical Realism". Before that he was just categorised as a surreal painter. There are only a few painters belonging to this Magical Realism subgroup of surrealism who can paint like Sętowski, faultlessly and with masterly technique.

Hereby some wonderful images of his work - all of them are gouaches.
Most of the titles of these images has been translated by myself. Some of the translations of the images on Sętowski's website are not good in my humble opinion.
