She appeared on the Cuban visual arts scene in the 1970s. She is recognized as one of the key figures of contemporary Cuban art. Several periods are recognized in Zaida's painting. The first thing was the countryside with its tobacco houses, the children, the landscape. Then came the horses. Then came the circus and its colorful characters. Then, The Bird Women. Then came the triptychs on Afro-Cuban religion. Later came the peacocks; and finally 'The Cosmic Dance of Shiva' (2010) in which the artist, moved by Hindu philosophy, expresses the great passion that she gives to this oriental culture.
