Sętowski Tomasz –born 1961 in Czestochowa – an artist,a graduate of the WSP in Czestochowa. Con-
sidered by many art critics as one of the most interesting Polish contemporary artists. As a rule, he does
not participate in art competitions. He belongs to the creators trend called "magical realism". He paints
in the traditional method: oil on canvas. In the recent years, however, he also presented some graphics

company of spectators. Setowski is not indifferent to the problems of other people, several times a year

clad Valkyries. His paintings decorate many calendars, movie post-
ers and book covers. In later years he created paintings with his
wife Julia Bell.
Boris Vallejo's work is difficult to describe in one word, because
his paintings are very different. Often, the paint-
ings depict strongmen who are fighting monsters and oth-
er creatures. However, in most of his paintings there is a woman in
armor, which is an addition. Women are surrounded
by mythical creatures, or they are in amazing places. It happens
that there are both women, and men in the painting.
