Babis Alexiadis was born in Olympiada of Halkidiki, northern Greece. He has been living in the UK for the past six years. During this time, he studied graphic design, illustration and animation and has worked as a free lancer in these fields. His first short film was initially created as part of his post-graduate project, and the second was commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre. He is currently involved with the artistic direction of a graphic novel in cooperation with a social rehabilitation program for young defenders. He is also involved in two projects on a part time basis with Creative Partnerships, where he works as a visiting artist in schools, providing assistance and artistic direction to a variety of student projects. At the same time, he is in the middle of the pre-production for his fourth animation movie.

The central element of Babis’ work is to both communicate his thoughts through a storytelling procedure as well as to involve the 'making process' as a crucial part of the project. This becomes apparent in his documentation of the shift between private studio work and his work with the public.
