Víctor Manuel Martínez Málaga (1890–1976) was a Peruvian figurative painter, most well-known for his portraits and Andean landscapes of Southern Peru.
The early passing of his parents took him to spend part of his childhood with one of his aunts in Mollendo, the main port on the Peruvian southern coast.
He joined the Centro Artístico and won the most important awards in his field quickly becoming one of the members of Los Independientes, a new movement of independent painters in Peru.
The artist also spent long periods of time living in Cusco, where he established a tight friendship with the renowned Peruvian photographer, Martín Chambi Jiménez.
In 2015, el Gobierno Regional de Arequipa and Cuzzi Editores published the book Martínez Málaga in which a vast collection of his paintings and drawings are showcased.
