He received strong academic training in perspective drawing, compositions and history of the art and architecture from his professors, which were well known artists and masters in their professions.

Paintings from period of 1988-1998 combine ideas taken from his national heritage, European history, romantic landscapes and architecture. In that period JB original paintings were inevitable part of galleries from Athens, Roma, Paris, Munich and other cities.
Paintings from 1998 until today are full of Aegean Sea images. So, the art people named him “Aegean painter”. He moved to the United States to begin a new life as both an artist and architect. He took many awards form exhibitions. That inspired him further, and every free moment that he had, he used it to paint. Soon enough 24 hours in a day became insufficient for his inspiration and ideas. New ideas, horizons, and new temptations brought him a whole new level of inspiration, and formed unique style of his artistic expression.
Quest for “Aegean Beauty” and studying human emotions, takes him into a contemporary portrayal of a woman and feelings.
