This artist and academic does not meet notability criteria for WP:NPROF nor WP:NARTIST. At first glance it appears to be well sourced however, after investigating all of the sources, it seems they are all either primary sources (his own website, his schools, thesis, disertation, shows, papers, etc.) His H-index on Google Scholar is virtually zero so fails notable academic, and an exhaustive web search doesn't find anything in the way of significant coverage we would usually find for an artist, such as notable exhibitions, reviews, museum collections, etc. Thus failing NARTIST and also WP:GNG. Please see the source assessment table linked below. The only source that is viable and would count as SIGCOV is the one for Fokus magazine. The only other source of interest is the interview on Green Belarus, but it's a primary source of him talking about himself with no in-depth editorial input. I'm guessing that this may be an autobiography or a connected contributor's creation (and edited by several WP:SPAs). Bringing it here for the community to decide.

 * Delete - I finally had a chance to review the excellent table assessing references. I agree that the subject fails notability criteria for WP:NPROF and WP:NARTIST. The search for a red glaze has been going on for centuries. Evidently Fiestaware incorporated uranium in its "china red" ceramics back in the 1930s. It is off the market now, but will still set off a Geiger counter. But I digress... --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:54, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
