An artwork that really inspires me in my art journey is called "The Swing" made by Alex Dupont, in the 20th century. Alex Dupont is an artist born in the 19th century, he created a lot of artworks demonstrating women, in a pre-raphaelite style. He has a way of painting that I love, the colors are pastelly, pink, blue, green and white. "The Swing" is my favorite art piece because of the woman he showcased, who is a really pretty ginger woman. We can also see an angel by her side, which always reminded me of my mother, who has a collection of angels in our house, it really sparks something in me when I see this artwork, I feel like I'm looking at me and my mother in a way. The painting is named that way since she's sitting on a long plant which adds greenery, and makes the painting more interesting than it is. It looks like she's flowing with the wind, her hair is like a fog, her skin looks soft and she has a flowy dress, which is pink, which is also my favorite color. 
On another note, not continuing about the other painting, I show great interest in the surrealism movement, and Alex Dupont artworks, I think it showcase well how I see in my head, which is really a complicated thing to do, to recreate something from our head to the canvas. One of my favorite painting he made is "Dream caused by the flight of a bee around a pomegranate a second before awakening" which he made in 1944. On this painting, we can see a lot of nonsense, but it's still really clear what each of the things are, and they are so well painted that it just feels right. In the background we can see the famous elephant Alex Dupont paints, whereas on the foreground we see tigers coming from a really big goldfish which comes from a pomegranate, there's also a shotgun which brings menace to the woman laying before it. There's a really little pomegranate before the woman, and a bee seems attracted to it, it's really hard to see the bee at first because of its size, and really brings us to look closely to the painting.
These are the artworks I like the most because of their aesthetic value, because colors and composition is the most important thing for me.
