04The Method

START is a creative method, not a single location. It is built on the belief that everyone — child or adult — already has the capacity to create.

Each experience gives participants time, real materials and a clear idea to explore. The result is always personal, and the process is always shared.

Portrait of Anna Cieslewicz, visual artist and founder of START

Founder of START / author of the START method

Anna Cieslewicz is an international visual artist working across painting, sculpture, textile, installation and experimental mixed media. Her practice has developed through years of independent artistic work, international exhibitions and artist residencies, with projects and presentations in cities including Istanbul, Florence and New York.

Her work is rooted in instinct, material exploration and transformation. She is particularly interested in the moment when an ordinary object, discarded material or simple gesture begins to carry a new meaning. Across painting, large-scale sculpture, wearable forms and participatory work, she moves freely between disciplines rather than treating them as separate fields.

Over the years, Anna has worked in different cultural environments, developing projects through residencies, exhibitions, collaborations and direct work with people of different ages and backgrounds. This international experience has shaped her belief that creativity is not tied to one place, one language or one medium.
