This article on a fine art painting process using mold to paint on surfaces does not meet criteria for notability per WP:GNG. A BEFORE search reveals lots of hits on how to get rid of mold on paintings, but virtually nothing about using mold as a painting medium. The current soucing is weak, as the first source does mention the process, but the other two sources are simply press releases about the work of "mold painting" by the article creator (whose work is also represented in the image in the article which was uploaded as their "own work") so it looks like this is also a COI entry.

Delete or redirect to Goran Menkov. For this to be a thing multiple artists need to be using it in a notable way. If it is just the one guy then the most it merits is a redirect, and I'm not even sure about that. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:04, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not enough WP:RS to establish art historical notability on its own, it's just another non-traditional/experimental medium in abstraction. I think that Fungi in art might be one possible place to discuss it, although I say this with caution, because that article has a plethora of its own issues that require extensive editing.
