The beautiful, dynamic and incredibly talented Pakistani painter Shahzia Sikander was recently awarded the "tamgha-e-imtiaz" - National Medal of Honor, by the Government of Pakistan. Shahzia has become one of the most well-known South Asian painters in the West, and has had exhibitions all over the world, including at the MOMA, New York.

Some of us at EGO personally know Shahzia, and have seen her rise to the top of her game with hard work, unparalled talent and a modest charm that is incredibly sexy.

Check out Shahzia's work on her website for starters, and when you finally get to making those millions, we recommend starting your virgin art collection with one of her stunning paintings.
