 * Weak delete with reservations The article is a mess. It is in need of dire neutral editing, however, one of the links at PicassoMio gives us this as a portion of an artist biography on the site:

Conclusion: Notability seems well established, however without serious cleanup, the article obviously does not adhere to Wikipedia style standards in the least. I thought I was reading something written by Salvadore Dali for a minute there. Very heady.
