He was the deacon and refendarios of the Archbishopric of Ōhrid. He sponsored the restoration of the icon of the Saint George, which was kept in the church of Saint George in Struga (δῶρον τοῦ σοῦ οἰκέτου καὶ εὐτελοῦς Ἰωάννου τοῦ διακόνου ῥαιφερενδαρΐου τε ἀξΐαν ἔχων· γράψαντϊ σεπτῶς τὴν σὴν μορφὴν ἁγίαν ἐν χρωματουργήμασϊ ποικϊλοτρόποις ταύτην ἀνιστῶν ἐν Στρούγαις τῆς Ἀχρίδος.

He supervised the fresco decoration of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Manastir, which was finished in 1270/1271 (Ὁ ναὸς γὰρ ἦν σμικρώτατος, σαθρὸς, ῥακοθεὶς δὲ καὶ διατετρωμένος ἀρραγῆς καὶ μὶ φέρων ὁρᾶν τὴν τοῦ ναοῦ σβέσιν ὁ πανοσιώτατος καθηγούμενος τῆς μονῆς ὁ κυρὸς Ἰωαννίκιος, ὁ καὶ διὰ τοῦ ἁγίου σχίματος ἐπωνομασθεὶς Ἀκάκιος καὶ χωρέσας ὑπὲρ χρημάτων ἀναχωρεῖ τοῦτον θεῖαν εὐσεβῆς ἐπιχωρῖν καὶ ἐν ὑπηρεσία ἄγειν ὁ καὶ προκαλέσας τοὺς ἐν Χριστῶ ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ...ἅμα καὶ εὐθὺς χαλάσας τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἀνήγυρεν ἐκ βάθρων τὸν πάνσεπτον ναὸν τοῦτον καὶ οραΐσας καὶ καλεῖ ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν ἐν χρωματουργίμασιν πικυλοτρόποις καὶ ἐν βαθεῖ γνόμονας χεῖρας ταπινότατος Ἰωάννης διάκονος καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κρίσεων τῆς ἁγιωτάτης ἀρχιεπισκοπῆς, καὶ...ἐν ἔτει ἐξακισχιλιστὸ καὶ ἑπτακοσιοστό τε ο δ, ἰνδικτιῶνος θ, ἀνιστορίθι δὲ ἐν ἕτι ς ψ ο θ, ἰνδικτιῶνος ιδ, ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ εὐσεβεστάτου μεγάλου βασλέως καὶ αὐτοκράτωρος Ῥωμαίων Δοῦκα Ἀγγέλου Κομνηνοῦ Μιχαήλ τοῦ Παλαιολόγου καὶ Νέου Κωνσταντίνου).

A short notice of the capture of Berat in 1342/1343 by the sebastokrator of Serbia Isaakios Nikephoros is inserted in the colophon of the manuscript (Dionys. 216/3750) written by the scribe Iakobos, kept in the library of the monastery of Dionysiu (ἐπόνησα πρὸς ταῦτα τῷ ἑξακισχιλιοστῷ αὖθις ὀκτακοσιοστῷ πρὸς τοῖς πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑνὶ ἔτη ἰνδικτηώνος δὲ ἐνδεκάτης. Ἰστέον ὅτι τὸ παρὸν βιβλίον ἐγράφη ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ ἔτω τῆς εἰς τὰ Βελλάγραδα εἰσελεύσεως τοῦ σεβαστοκράτωρος Σερβείας κῦρ Νικηφόρω τὸ Ἰσαακίω, χειρὶ δὲ Ἰακώβῳ ἱεροθύτῳ). Isaakios Nikephoros is with all probability identical with the ambassador Chiersacchio mentioned in a document from 25.05.1344 preserved in the archives of the city Dubrovnik (In consilio rogatorum captum fuit "de mittendo unum ambassiatorem Chiersacchio ad honorandum ipsum et presentandum et recommandandum mereatores in partibus illis conversantes". Item "de mittendo dona eidem Chiersacchio, cuidam alii baroni Suberto de yperferis CC"; et alia fuit de perperis CL que vicit".) The sebastokrator Kerьsakь also appears as a donator of the village of Rodokali with hamlets and all rights to the Church of Holy Mother of God Peribleptos in Ōhrid, which was confirmed by the Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. (I kako prihodi vseōsvešteni jepiskopь Děvolьski kirь Gligori i uspomenu mi kako jestь priložilь prěljubovni vlastelinь kraljevstva mi sevastokratorь Kerьsakь selo Rodokali, i sь zaselьci i sь vsěmi pravinami sela toga crьkvi Periblepьtu, monastiru kralevstva mi i kraličinu. I kralevstvo mi zapisa i utvrьdi, jako da jestь tvrьdo i nerazorimo do věka i da jestь otь crьkve neotiemlemo do dni i do věka). The Serbian King names him in the same charter as the brother of his kingdom and as the Sebastokrator of the town Ōhrid. The Serbian king mentions his help in the conquest of the region (i sь Hristovomь pomoštiju i prědanijemь brata kraljevstva mi, sebastokratora grada Ōhrid). He is attested together with the archbishop Nikolaos as donor of the large mid-14th century icons of Christ Pantokrator and the Virgin Psychosostria destined for the templon of the Cathedral of St. Sophia at Ōhrid. An inscription is attached to the lower rim of the revetment of the Icon with Christ Pantokrator, which describes him as the sebastokrator Isaakios Dukas (ΥΜΝΟΝ ΕΠΙΝΙΚΟΝ ΩΣ ΘΕΩ ΦΕΡΕΙ ΑΥΤΟΣ Δ· ΕΝΥΛΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΧΟΙΚΟΣ ΤΥΓΧΑΝΩΝ ΔΟΥΚΑΣ ΙΣΑΑΚΙΟΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΚΡΑΤΩΡ ΙΛΑΣΤΗ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ ΗΡΥΣΟΥ ΑΡΓΥΡΟΥ ΤΕ ΤΕΧΝΟΥΡΓΗΜΕΝΗΝ ΗΝ ΚΑΙ ΔΕΧΟΙΟ ΠΑΜΜΕΔΟΝ ΘΕΟΥ [ΚΡΑΤΟΣ...ΕΙΣ] ΕΞΙΛΑΣΜΑ ΤΩΝ ΑΜΑΡΤΗΜΑΤΟΝ). It is not clear whether the sebastocrator Isaakios is the same person as the Caesar Dukas portrayed together with his prematurely deceased son Demetrios in the ruins of St. Panteleimon in Ōhrid, which is dated 1321 or 1331, shortly before the conquest of Ōhrid by the Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV Dušan.

The intented purpose of their donation was the salvation of the Hariton’s soul (Vь lěto: ѕ: tisuštno: io: i sotno i o: i z: popisa se crьkva: spasova: prědne: za: l: perperь: s trudomь: i s otkupomь haikověhь: syinov: pribila i prijezdu: i matere nih: a za: dušu blagoprestavšago se: haritona: a velьčьko ime: haiko: počivšago: o hramu spasově: i i tko pročitaete: recate věčna emu pametь). He and his brother held the Monastery of the Holy Transfiguration of Christ (Holy Saviour/Sveti Spas) in Zrze also during the reign of Blukasinos (Vukašin) and Markos (Marko).

He together with the Monk Grigorije was the author of the paintings in the Church of Saint Andrew at the Treska river from 1388/1389 (Pomeni gospodi bože raba svoego mnogogrěšnago Iōana mitropolita i Rrigoria monaha pisavšihь zde). Several artworks are attributed to the artist and Metropolitan Iōanь and his workshop. He painted in 1393/1394 his last known icon „Christ as Saviour and Giver of Life“ for the iconostasis in the Monastery of the Holy Transfiguration of Christ (Holy Saviour/Sveti Spas) in Zrze.
