Fernando de Szyszlo (Lima, 1925 – 2017) was a Peruvian painter of pre-Columbian imagery and a restrained palette, drawn to indigenous mysticism and to reinterpreting Surrealism from a Latin American perspective.

He studied art at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú after leaving architecture. As a young man he traveled to Europe, where he met the Surrealist poets Octavio Paz and André Breton. He worked in oil and acrylic on canvas.

His work is held in the collections of MoMA in New York, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Arequipa and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Galería Duque Arango presents his work.
