During his short art career, Samir Kachayev created such sculptures as "Auguste Rodin" (his Diploma work),[2] "Equilibrium", "Youth", and "Shoemaker". According to the honored art worker and Doctor of Philosophy Ziyadkhan Aliyev, these and dozens of other works by Kachayev are "professionally made examples of monumentality".[3]
In July 2015, he enlisted in the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. On the night of 1 to 2 April 2016 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes took place along the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding territories.

On 3 April 2016, Samir Kachayev was buried in the Malham village of the Shamakhi District.[5] On 19 April 2016, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed an order awarding honorary titles, orders and medals to a group of Azerbaijani military servicemen who "have demonstrated distinguished courage to support the territorial integrity of the country".[6] Samir Kachayev was awarded with the medal For Heroism.[7]
