I know this seems cliché but Crawling Death is genuinely one of my favorite of his works.
His landscapes are always kickass, obviously; but I personally believe that a lot of his humanoids come across more as mutilations rather than monstrosities, if that makes any sense. I don't mean that I'm put-off by them, It's the opposite, I feel like I'm not put off enough by them. Although I may just have a bias against desiccation which is what Beksinski seems to specialize in.
Crawling Death (In my opinion) finds a perfect balance between monster and landscape, and the monster in the painting is one of the best, if not the best, that Beksinski has ever created.

I don't know how to fit this in, I don't think it can be fit in, but I've also been thinking about pic related a lot recently. Another one of his better humanoids imho.
