About Us
Sinako
Painting is a powerful tool that facilitates thinking and deepens conversations, leading to powerful and quick breakthroughs. Our effective coaching process helps your teams to visualize ideas in a new way to help with strategic level challenges and daily problem solving, whilst developing creativity and interaction skills. We coach business teams and individuals and help them become better creative problem solvers. Let’s paint your goals to success!
We also provide creative workshops for the elderly and those with dementia, as art is a powerful tool for interaction, with oneself and with others – and it creates feelings of meaning and well-being, increase community spirit, improve the quality of life and fight loneliness. Our art exhibitions are designed to raise awareness on important subjects and provide peer support through art and poetry by Minna Pietarinen.
Our values are empathy and hope – creatively and playfully.
Peppi Stünkel
I am passionate about creative coaching as it works like magic in the business world and if anything, the future requires us all to develop our creative problem solving skills.
Together with Minna, we have developed a concept called ”interaction art”, it is coaching where we by painting dive into your chosen subject, to process it on an entirely new level. It helps develop our interaction with ourselves and with others. When we paint our challenges visible, they become clearer and easier to understand. Then we can change them and take positive action. Creativity is a gift that keeps on giving and whilst I love coaching individuals and teams, painting with the elderly and those with dementia is what I find to be the most rewarding.
I have vast experience within the corporate world in the gaming industry (UK, Switzerland and Hong Kong), in the non-profit world, in the fields of education (Cambodia) and wildlife conservation (Mexico), and in sales and marketing management (global). I have brought a lot of lessons from all these experiences as well as my travels and passions into my current job.
I would love to network with you!

Minna Pietarinen
Why Minna and interaction-art?
Already as a child, drawing and writing became an unconscious channel to unravel the innermost side of a sensitive and shy girl.
Poems and art of life began to emerge.
Life gave her 8 children, 5 of whom were allowed to live, and three who as little angels built a bridge to the universe.
Grief, sadness and big life changes, breaking away from the religious community that was the basis of her childhood growth while going through a divorce at the same time, led her to paint her own dead ends into freedom. They led her to study art, which led to art therapy and from that to art therapy studies, opening up an understanding of the deepest meaning of art in humanity, the freedom it brings to live by channeling emotions into colors, by breaking, building and writing.
Painting a life of her own, realizing that creativity is a human power to survive and that you can develop that ability yourself. The human mind is very flexible and stretchable.
Here you can watch YLE’s Cinderella stories from Minna.
Many exhibitions were born, mirrors were created from true stories, which made it easy for others to identify with and find their lost self, and get peer support for their feelings and experiences.
A desire was born to help people find this freedom to live, through art in nursing homes, with loved ones of those struggling with substance abuse, among the long-term unemployed, youth and children.
The desire arose from an innate strength, to study and become a solution-oriented coach and to bring all this joy and power of the freedom to be human, to workplaces, so that teams could do better and companies would succeed.
So that we as humans could feel better and be good to each other.
