For the first time his work was exhibited in Moscow in 1964 at the 10th All-Union Exhibition of Diploma Theses.

The search for new technical possibilities for a more perfect implementation of his ideas was and remains a constant for Ralzewitsch. In the All Union exhibition in the Moscow Manege in 1966, his triptych “Old Vitebsk” was exhibited as engravings on cardboard. However, it was not about engravings, i. H. Letterpress process, but rather work in flat printing.

Ralzewitsch contributed a lot to the development of the watercolor. His watercolors differ from the classic technique in the use of the bristle brush, which roughen the surface of the paper and thereby allows the color to penetrate into deeper layers, making the colors appear more expressive and intense, which increases the expressive possibilities of the watercolor.

When Ralzewitsch took part in the first All Union watercolor exhibition in 1965, he attracted attention and was sent to the international plein air "Bieszczady 76" ("Bieszczady 76") in recognition of this. There his watercolor work was awarded a prize.

Ralzewitsch's interests in the fine arts are diverse. He works successfully in oil and tempera painting, he is engaged in monumental painting, mosaic and glass windows. He has developed his own style in glass painting.

In 1993 he created his first work of esoteric art (EZO), a sculpture relief that is transformed from painting on a plane by polishing the surface. EZO is closest to the gem, the jewel. The hidden beauty of the stone only appears after grinding. Unlike other art where color and shape are used deliberately, Ezo is unpredictable. Therefore copies and repetitions are excluded. In the hidden layers of paint in EZO's colors, as in painting, unexpected metamorphoses occur. They remain hidden in the painting, and the EZO is able to expose the inside of the paint layer with the help of "grinding". The layer of paint is different from the surface of the painting, like the polished gem is different from the cobblestone.

His works have received awards and are in public and private collections. In Germany, he took part in exhibitions in Grenzau and Bendorf in 2014 and again in 2015 (together with Armin Mueller-Stahl, among others ).
