His family hailed from France (De Bocchaciampe), possessing its own baronage coat of arms during the reign of the Bourbons. Bokatsiambis initially trained at the Fine Arts Academy of Marseilles, while later he went on to Florence and, then, to Rome, where he completed his studies at the Academy of Saint Luke. In 1895 he returned to Corfu, where he stayed for four years and founded a school of fine arts. In 1899, he relocated to Athens and, a year later, he succeeded Vikentios Lantsas as chair of the Decorative Arts department at the Athens School of Fine Arts. He held that position until 1928, while also teaching at the Friends of the Arts’ School of Fine Arts. He is deemed one of the most important Greek watercolorists and co-creator, along with Angelos Giallinas, of a watercolor tradition in the Ionian Islands. He used oil and pastel on a more limited scale, painting almost exclusively landscapes, especially landscapes of Corfu and Athens, which he rendered in a poetic manner, infusing them with a rather idyllic ambience.
