Costas Spathis (b. 1984) is a Greek visual artist and photographer whose work merges the precision of architecture with the poetry of aerial imagery. Trained in architecture at the University of Thessaly, Spathis redirected his eye for structure, geometry, and design into photography, developing a practice defined by symmetry, minimalism, and graphic clarity.
Specializing in drone photography, he uses technology as both tool and language, capturing the world from above to reveal hidden patterns in landscapes, cities, and daily life. His compositions often reduce complex scenes into elegant geometries - dominated by axes, vanishing points, and rhythmic repetitions - where the presence of a solitary figure or shadow introduces scale and humanity.
Spathis describes his approach as seeing with “the eye of an architect.” His images highlight the balance between nature and the built environment, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through precise alignment and a careful play of light and shadow.
Infused with modern freshness, his photographs transcend mere documentation, offering viewers a sense of order, beauty, and optimism. By distilling reality into abstracted, harmonious forms, Spathis invites us to reimagine our surroundings and to discover the hidden structures that shape how we see the world.
