Rauno Thomas Moss (born 29 December 1977, Tallinn, Estonia) is an Estonian artist, graphic designer who is known by his series of black and white (aka Clinical), and autoerotic nude paintings. With echoes of 19th century medical operations, Moss exhaustively mines the intersection of his own childhood memories, and experiences in vivid and slightly dreamlike surrealistic alienation with narrative intent. The result is disturbing and memorable. He studied painting in University of Tartu under professor Jaan Elken.
