Quote

His contemplative manner and the poetic gift of an artist able to use various techniques, as well as his exquisite sense of colour distinguish Kozhin from other painters of his generation and make his pictures noticeable in the mostly ambivalent context of today’s artistic life.

— Tahir Salahov

He has a wonderful eye color setting. He thinks compositionally in a very interesting way, because it is not enough be able see the colour, but you must have the opportunity to feel the colour picture in such a way, it could give you a plastic, picturesque and colorful imagine. And he is able to do it!

— Vladimir Pogodin
