Tomasz Sętowski (b.1961 Czestochowa) | 4044

Tomasz Sętowski, also known as 'Senti', is one of the most important Polish surrealist painters. He is a graduate of the Częstochowa Higher School of Pedagogy and has received numerous awards, including the Bronze Medal for Merit to Culture Gloria Artis. Sętowski, who in his artistic path 'impersonates a wizard', has exhibited his works in Polish and foreign galleries, such as Grażyna Kulczyk Gallery, Katarzyna Napiórkowska Gallery or New York's InterArt Gallery, Stricoff Fine Art and CFM Gallery. The art of the Polish surrealist has reached the United Arab Emirates, where it could be admired, among others, at the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation. Tomasz Sętowski's works represent the trend of magical realism, full of uncanny symbols and dreamy representations. They have been reproduced in three publications - 'Magic Theatre' (2001), 'Museum of Imagination' (2003) and 'Dream Factory' (2017). The works of the Polish Surrealist can be found in many private and institutional collections. The artist himself has run his own gallery, Museum of Imagination, in Częstochowa since 2000.
