After graduating with an AAS from the Altos de Chavón, School of Design, a Parsons affiliate, in La Romana, Dominican Republic in 2008, he won a full merit scholarship to attend Parsons School of Design in New York City. He received a BFA from Parsons in 2010. In 2013, Tomás was offered a 2 years scholarship to join Fabrica Research Centre in Treviso, Italy.[1][11]

His first short film “ Línea Confín[17]”, a 16mm & animation hybrid about the life of illegal Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic, got selected for the "XXVI Art Biennale of Santo Domingo". This project and his following short film “Dante[18]” earned him a work scholarship at Fabrica, Benetton Communication Research Centre, in Italy.[19]
