Shinhuey Ho (Taiwan) prize winner of the international category

“The Synagogue” 23 x 30 cm oil on panel by Shinhuey Ho. Winning painting of the international category in 2017.
 
This painting is the entrance gate to the Synagogue. This painting has a special meaning because it reminds us thankfully, that the Mikvé Israel-Emanuel congregation opened their door for our organization to be able to exhibit the Plein Air Curaçao paintings in the Gallery and now also in the museum by allowing us to use its beautiful space.
