Tomek Sętowski, 1961 | Magical Realism painter

A young dreamer had been developing his painting techniques for years, taking giant steps from local galleries to the top-rank exhibitions salons, and, at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Częstochowa Pedagogical University he gained knowledge of the history of art.

Khalil Gibran | Sulla libertà / Freedom

Alle porte della città e presso il focolare vi ho veduto, prostrati, adorare la vostra libertà,

Così come gli schiavi si umiliano in lodi davanti al tiranno che li uccide.

Sì, al bosco sacro e all'ombra della rocca ho visto che per il più libero di voi la libertà non era che schiavitù e oppressione.
