Lauder Collection (NYC), in the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum[1] (Boston) and M&M Proyectos (San Juan, Puerto Rico) among other institutions and companies.

In 2003, Rovira Rullán founded Galeria Comercial, an exhibit house that rapidly became one of the most important galleries in Puerto Rico due to its curatorial focus and the quality of the artists represented.

Founded in 2011, Roberto Paradise is his latest art adventure.
