I've always been a fan of Dalí's sort of pseudo-religious works, like Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus): And his Christ of Saint John of the Cross. In short, they make me feel enlightened. There is someething about them that I find helps capture a lot of my approach towards religion, and ideals like sacrifice and courage that I'd like to embody. Ecstacy is another good way to out it. Besides that, I like landscapes, both paintings, like the Hudson River School, and photographs. Absolutely love Ansel Adams. The connection to nature and sheer majesty remind me a lot of John Muir's comments about the Yosemite Valley being a cathedral of stone. I also like metalwork a lot, though more because I've learned some of the process and can sort of deconstruct it that way than for the visual appeal.
