Other than that it's not popular to write in 1st person present tense, is it terrible to write "I look at the painting. It's beautiful."
Or is it better to be more stream-of-consciousness-like and write "Whoa, what a beautiful painting!" instead?
Depends on the context of what you're writing.

I mean, does it make sense that the person who experiences something, says "I look at..." ? Wouldn't he just do it and therefore it can't be written down?
paradigmatic too
The best novel of the last century begins, "I am seated in an office surrounded by heads and bodies," so opinion discarded
If that's the way you need and love to write, then it's your only option.

Yes. Unless if you're going for an emotionally detached character.
