Around 1975 a sign appeared on
the ship, saying 'Bulgarian Women's Club'. This was the
prelude to a new passion of Viktor's. He imagined that
his family originated from a remote area in Eastern
Europe. Maps and encyclopedias were consulted and the
New York son of immigrants with his lively imagination
conjured up a past, which made his straight descent
from the old Bulgarians crystal clear.
From that moment on he called
himself Bulgar Finn and most people have known him
under the name of Bulgar.
This Bulgarian past went with a fascination with
runes, the Nordic alphabet, which he used to paint
countless panels and boards in clear colors with
simple words, such as TAK, BREAD, YES, CHOCOLATE or
EVERYTHING. In the same way he also made measuring
sticks and pieces of wood with cheerfully colored
arrows.
Bulgar made less Ikons and also
the number of Logbook pages decreased.
