Tomás Sánchez (born 1948 in Aguada de Pasajeros, Cuba) is a celebrated Cuban painter best known for his hyper-detailed, meditative landscapes. A graduate of the National Art School (ENA) in Havana, he gained early recognition in the 1970s and won first prize at the International Drawing Biennial in Rijeka, Yugoslavia, in 1980.

Sánchez’s work often depicts vast forests, serene seas, and contemplative horizons rendered with meticulous realism. His paintings evoke a spiritual stillness influenced by Zen Buddhism and transcendental meditation, themes that are central to his artistic philosophy. While many of his scenes appear untouched and idyllic, some works subtly incorporate environmental commentary, contrasting pristine nature with human-made waste.

Over the decades, Sánchez has exhibited internationally and is considered one of the most important contemporary Cuban artists. His works are held in major museum collections across Latin America, the United States, and Europe.
