After graduating from the gymnasium in 1910, he entered the pedagogical department at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest. His first teacher was the famous Hungarian artist Imre Reves. After graduating in 1914 with the outbreak of World War I, Bokshai was mobilized into the Austro-Hungarian army. In 1915, he was captured by the Russian army. After returning in the spring of 1918 from captivity in his native Transcarpathia, Bokshai worked as an artist and teacher of the Uzhgorod real gymnasium until 1945. In 1927 he founded with Adalbert Erdeli the Uzhgorod Art School, and in 1931 the Society of Fine Arts in Subcarpathian Russia. In 1940, I.I. Bokshai, together with Adalbert Erdeli, initiated the creation of a new association “Union of Subcarpathian Artists”. In 1946 he carried out the first recruitment to the newly opened educational institution "Academy of Arts" in Uzhgorod - Uzhgorod State Art and Industrial School and became one of the first teachers of the school at the Faculty of Painting and a member of the management of the regional organization of the Union of Artists. In 1951, I. Bokshai received an invitation to direct his thesis at the Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts in Lviv (now Lviv National Academy of Arts), where he worked until 1957. In the zenith of glory, I. I. Bokshai fell ill with diabetes and blind for 4 years before his death. He died on October 19, 1975 in Uzhgorod, where he was buried in the cemetery "Calvaria". Creativity I.I. Bokshai is an artist of a wide range, especially his talent manifested itself in easel and monumental painting. He is the author of numerous genre compositions, wonderful chamber graphics, spiritualized portraits, works of sacred art and church paintings in Transcarpathia, Slovakia and Hungary. Since 1918 he worked fruitfully in the landscape genre, writing still lifes, portraits and genre canvases. The artist created most of his paintings in nature. His favorite theme of landscapes is Transcarpathian autumn. The autumn of Bokshai is not a sad rainy time, but a holiday and nature generous to a person. His paintings are saturated with light and majority of worldview. Bokshai is not only an artist, he is also a psychologist who makes his viewers experience a range of emotions. The attitude towards artistic images has changed over time. Landscapes written in the 20s of the twentieth century are distinguished by a chamber, intimate sound, and later works are already characterized by epic, monumentality, despite the small size of the works. During the 1940-1950s, I. Bokshai created a series of artistic compositions, which reflected the changes that occurred in his native Transcarpathia, which brought the artist fame, honorary titles and state awards - the Order of the Badge of Honor (1948).
