Josué Sánchez (Peru, 1945) is a visual artist who graduated from the now-defunct School of Fine Arts at the National University of Central Peru. His paintings, in a neo-figurative style, draw inspiration from the Andean worldview, typically executed using acrylics on canvas, paper, or walls. A renowned muralist, his most iconic works can be found in the Church of Chongos Alto in Huancayo (350 m2), the Franciscan Convent of Santa Rosa de Ocopa in Concepción (400 m2), the Place of Memory, and the House of Literature in Lima, among others throughout Peru. His works are part of the collections of the Lima Museum of Art (MALI), the Lima Contemporary Art Museum (MAC), the Christian art collection of the International Catholic Missionary Organization MISSIO Aachen, and others. He has exhibited in Spain, Germany, France, England, Switzerland, Chile, and Ecuador, and has illustrated the covers and interiors of numerous books by both Peruvian and foreign authors.
