Hello, and thank you for visiting my Thumbtack profile.
My name is Oscar Matos Linares. I’m an artist with over 30 years of experience in fine art and exhibition work, now specializing exclusively in picture hanging and professional art installation. Whether you're installing a single piece, a mirror, or designing a full gallery wall—for your home, office, or showroom—I bring precision, care, and a strong eye for design to every project.
I began my installation work at Merrill Chase Gallery and The Great Frame Up, where I developed the skills to properly lay out, align, and securely install artwork of all types. Over the years, I’ve worked with private collectors, interior designers, galleries, and corporate clients nationwide.
I started using Thumbtack in October 2018, just before heading to Florida for a large installation project. Since then, I’ve continued to grow my business through word-of-mouth and repeat clients. I don’t charge for travel time, but I do have a one- to two-hour minimum depending on your location.
Because I rely on referrals and reviews, I approach each job—whether big or small—with professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. I do everything possible to ensure the work is completed to your complete satisfaction.
