Cauro was a Winner in Tom of Finland Foundation’s
2009 Emerging Erotic Artist Contest.
The passion he puts into his paintings and the men he creates are absolutely fascinating.
It was so important to provide Tom the dignity of being in his own home, to be on his own time so he could choose, with a sense of self-determination, control over his own death.
Though Tom was in a hospital bed, rather than his own bed as he had intended, he ultimately succeeded in his design. May we learn from this and permit those who choose to navigate their own vessel into the sea, to do so with respect. Tom set sail on 7 November 1991.
