Alexander Grothendieck. See, for example, his passage about opening a nut. This was very inspiring for me and was one of the key reasons that led me to abandon computer science and start studying math. I also very much like the way he uses geometric intuition in algebraic geometry, it helped me a lot and not only in algebraic geometry.
