Later, his works were appreciated in Warsaw and Lvov. In 1911, Buyko became a member of the International Watercolour Society. He liked to paint the architecture of old towns. In a personal exhibition in 1921, he showed 53 views of architecture in Rome, Sienna, Verona, Assisi, Florence, Venice and Brittany.
