Sentence tense

1) I'm taken to another realm every time I look at this beautiful painting.
2) I'd be taken to another realm every time I look at this beautiful painting.

I'd like to express an repetative feeling that generate in me every time while watching a painting, to some one so in this context which one of the above would be the right sentence?

I would be happy if you could demonstrate when to use the first sentence and when the second one.

Thanks,

Ok thanks, so the first sentence should be used when telling about the painting to someone right or a while after watching it(assuming watching the painting for the first time)? or when giving feedback about something right after watching it or using it.

And the second one, should be used when telling about past repeated experience about the painting to someone in the future when I see th
