Kodda is a nomad in a digital matrix; he plays with his brushes as he produces music and paintings - distorting time, sampling a color, a texture, a gesture, and blending them with the constant ebb of influences fed to himself to create a "unique and polyphonic" interpretation of modern painting.
"[Kodda] morphs and mixes Masters, reinterpreting their work and rejuvenating the Classical genre". One of the inherent principles of the Renaissance was to look to the Classical to solve the problems of the future; this is echoed through Kodda in the modern day. He bears the characteristics of a Renaissance man in his multi-faceted nature and pursuit of aesthetic perfection, utilizing mixed media and exercising his creative talent in a diversity of fields. Kodda, as an artist, exhibits great versatility and maintains a strong sense of aesthetic balance; making creative use of cutting edge digital technologies in arrangement, augmentation, manipulation, painting and music production (he mixes music tailored to each exhibit opening). Kodda looks to the powerful statements reflected in iconographic religious art from the Renaissance to capture the tools needed to "transcend the human element and capture the ethereal" in his own work.
A more contemporary reference point for Kodda's work is the Steampunk movement as it pertains to art. The movement, which derives its name from steam-powered machines, cherishes elements of a bygone Victorian era through the lens of past visions of future grandeur. Although Steampunk is not directly reflected in Kodda's work, it shares the same romantic spirit. Kodda delves back to the Renaissance with an eye to the future; he is by very definition a modern-day Renaissance man.
There are many artists that inspire Kodda -- Carvaggio, Ingres, Poussin and Van Loo, just to name a few. And while Kodda and his Renaissance Master role models may be separated by time and their respective mediums, but they are united through unity of concept and aesthetic principle.

Kodda是一个数字矩阵里的流浪者,他玩音乐和绘画的同时也挥动着画笔 - 改变时间,尝试一种颜色、一种质感、一种姿态,并将它们与不断围绕着自己的低潮混合在一起,对现代绘画诠释出一种"独特而多声部"的全新演绎。
"Kodda将大师的作品加以变形与混合,重新诠释他们的作品,赋予经典风格新的活力。"文艺复兴式艺术的固有原则之一便是要用经典解决未来的问题,如今,Kodda对其做出了回应。在他的多面性和对审美完美的追求上,Kodda具有一个文艺复兴时期男子的特征,在千变万化的领域中,利用混合媒介尽情发挥他的创意天赋。作为艺术家,Kodda的作品展示了不同寻常的多功能性,同时保持着一种强烈的审美平衡感,在排列、增强、操作、绘画和音乐制作上(他为每一个展览的开幕式都特别制作合成音乐),他创造性的使用了尖端数码科技。Kodda指望一种极具冲击的效果反映在文艺复兴时期的肖像宗教艺术上,从而去获取必要的工具,以达到在其作品中要表现出的"超越人之因素,并捕获空灵"。
Kodda作品的一个更现代的参照点,是涉及艺术的蒸汽朋克运动。这场名字源于蒸汽动力机器的运动,通过对过去视觉的镜头展望壮美未来,珍视昔日维多利亚时代的元素。虽然蒸汽朋克并非与Kodda的作品有直接的关联,但它分享了同样的浪漫主义精神。Kodda用一双审视未来的眼睛,钻回到对文艺复兴的深入研究,可以说,他是一个定义于现代的文艺复兴人。
有许多的艺术家赐予Kodda创作灵感,比如卡拉瓦乔(意大利画家)、安格尔(法国古典主义画家),普桑(17世纪法国巴洛克时期重要画家)和凡卢(法国画家)。Kodda和文艺复兴大师画笔下的人物可被时间所分离,抑或有着各自的创作媒介,但他们则通过统一的观念和美学原则而走到了一起。
