He has participated in individual and collective expositions in over 30 countries, including Mexico, the United States, Japan, Italy and   France. Among his most significant individual exhibitions are: Tomás Sánchez: A Retrospective at the National Museum of Fine Art(Havana, Cuba, 1985); Tomás Sánchez: Different Worlds at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art (Florida, USA, 1996); and a 60th anniversary celebration, Tomás Sánchez: A Retrospective,at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Monterrey, Mexico, 2008).

Critics,  curators and the artist himself have often associated his work with the  experience of meditation.Tomás Sánchez has subsequently lived in Havana, Mexico, Miami (Florida) and Costa Rica.
