In 2018, Oscar founded “Guru Gallery,” a boutique art dealership in New York City specializing in contemporary fine art paintings created by human artists. Focusing on works, he serves individuals, families, and institutions—such as boutique hotels, corporate offices, and small museums—seeking meaningful, accessible additions to their collections. Oscar’s curatorial strategy celebrates the tactile and emotional resonance of physically hand-crafted paintings, prioritizing the human touch in an era of digital proliferation. While he recognizes AI’s value in analyzing art market trends, he deliberately avoids selling NFTs, viewing their digital nature as lacking the authenticity and soul of human-made works—a core pillar of his philosophy.

Oscar curates vibrant, thought-provoking paintings by emerging and mid-career artists, often exploring themes like cultural identity, environmental consciousness, and urban life. His financial mathematics background brings precision to his curation and valuation, while his banking experience informs his guidance on art as an investment. His Vedic meditation practice fosters deep, empathetic connections with clients, guiding them to select pieces that resonate on both personal and financial levels.
