The artist has been unflaggingly successful for many years and his works are gaining a wider and wider circle of admirers. On several occasions, Sętowski's work has been included in Europe's largest show of "Magical Realism" - "Dreamscape" in Amsterdam, twenty of the most prominent artists of the trend presented their paintings there. His works are in numerous significant private and museum collections, including the Museum of Fantastic Art in Switzerland, the Central Maritime Museum in Gdansk and the Abu Dhabi Museum. The artist's works can be found at Inter Art Gallery- New York, USA among others in the company of canvases by Salvador Dali and Michael Parkes.

For me, trips to the land of fantasy are a search for treasures that I would like to share. The mind is a kind of dream factory activated for the time of creation.(...)
