The artist noted that “the symbolism of color in the canvas is my thoughts ... When I listen to the song, I imagine the sound as a figure ... Bright colors are, apparently, the call of the soul, a visible song ...”. Thanks to natural talent, he created a number of paintings that entered the treasury of the Chuvash culture.
No less significant is the photographic work of Yu.A. Zaitseva. Natural giftedness and determination allowed him to rise to such professionalism that the photographic activities of Zaitsev became known internationally.
