The Galerie Stellara was founded on belief. Belief in the power of art, belief in creative vision, and belief that certain works deserve to be seen by the world.

Founded by Ashley Encalada, a mother, business owner, and poet, the gallery began as a way to support and share the work of artist and musician Vincent Greenhagen. Vince has spent over seventeen years immersed in music as a guitarist and bassist while also developing a body of visual work through oil and acrylic painting. As a father and lifelong creative, his art reflects moments of emotion, atmosphere, and reflection captured directly onto canvas.

The Galerie Stellara exists as an online gallery dedicated to showcasing Vince’s original paintings. Some works are available to collectors, while others are displayed simply because they deserve to be seen. The gallery also accepts commissioned works and will eventually expand into publishing an art book and offering merchandise featuring selected pieces.

Vince’s work is rooted in spontaneity and emotional immediacy. Landscapes, abstract compositions, and experimental works emerge from raw moments of feeling rather than rigid planning. Many pieces explore themes of nature, cosmic perspective, and the spiritual dimensions of existence. The work reflects a shared belief that the universe is far more complex and mysterious than we often perceive. Energy never truly disappears. Time, space, and reality may be far more fluid than we understand. Through art, those possibilities can be glimpsed, even if only briefly.

At the same time, Vince’s landscapes celebrate something much closer to home. The beauty of Earth itself. Mountains, skies, water, and atmosphere appear again and again throughout his work, reminding viewers that the world we inhabit is already filled with extraordinary presence.

For Ashley and Vince, art is not simply decoration or commodity. It is a form of breathing. A way of processing experience and translating emotion into something tangible.

The Galerie Stellara exists so that others might encounter that same connection. To look at a painting and feel something stir inside. Recognition, wonder, curiosity, or simply the quiet feeling of being present in the moment.

While Vince is currently the gallery’s featured artist, The Galerie Stellara may expand in the future to include other artists whose work aligns with the gallery’s spirit and vision.

For now, the mission remains simple.

To share the work.

To follow the inspiration wherever it leads.

And to welcome whatever good things the future may bring.
