That’s why our projects can’t be permanent and have to disappear forever.” Christo was born on 13.06.1935 as Christo Vladimirov Javacheff in Gabrovo, Bulgaria. From 1953 to 1956 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia, and in 1957 he moved to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna for one semester.
