Ropes, aesthetics and conscious touch:
Exploring the lines of the body, connection to the other and presence, with or without suspension.

Here are Osian's words to introduce himself – What I deeply love about rope work is its aesthetic – both in its entirety and in the relationship that is created between the human body and the ropes. From this encounter emerge magnificent curves, revealed through different positions.

Lately, however, my attention has turned more towards connecting with others and conscious touch. It's an aspect I'm increasingly incorporating into my sessions.

What I can teach in private lessons

As part of private lessons, I can teach:

• Aesthetics applied to pendant lights
• How to turn imperfections into strengths
• My gote variations in 3, 4 or 5 strings
• Working with clothing and body positioning in the ropes
• String photography: lighting setup, composition and post-production

Furthermore, I would deeply like to teach conscious touch applied to rope work: the relationship between touch and rope, the wheel of consent, the notion of who gives and who receives, and how to create a real connection with one's partner.

This would require specific preparation time, as I have not yet taught this content in this form.

Format of private sessions

For a private session, I would prefer an experience centered on conscious touch, with or without suspension.

As an alternative, I can also offer a session dedicated to rope photography.

My journey

I have been practicing shibari for about six years. My first significant experiences were kinbaku workshops at Subspace Studio, which helped define my direction and provided me with a solid foundation.

It was also there that I began studying with Soptik, who gradually became my main teacher and the most significant influence on my approach.

An important step in my journey was a photography workshop with Sugiura Norio, which allowed me to deepen my understanding of the aesthetics, composition and visual dimension of string work.

I was also influenced by workshops with Riccardo Wildties as well as a private course with Ropetales.

Recent developments

Recently, I have enriched my practice through training focused on conscious touch and tantra, in order to deepen sensitivity, communication and the quality of connection in working with two people.

Inspirations

My long-term inspirations include Nureki Chimuo and Naka Akira.
