Marie Sauvage is a boundary-breaking artist known for her unique approach to Shibari, a Japanese art form involving rope tying. Studying art and finding inspiration in live drawing classes, she embraces the beauty of the human form in her performances. With a feminine perspective, she has made Shibari more accessible and intriguing to a broader audience, going beyond traditional SM culture to emphasize mutual trust and vulnerability. Marie’s authentic and sensual performances create a mesmerizing experience that celebrates the intimate connection between the rigger, muse, and audience.
“I have studied the techniques, emotions and aesthetics of the Japanese masters and, from their knowledge, developed an adaptive and inclusive style that is open to everyone regardless of gender, sexual orientation, size or flexibility. My background in design has given me a unique approach to Rope, a constantly evolving blend of Western & Eastern aesthetics & perspectives.” Read more here
