Critic José Luis de Llanes described Junquera's work as follows: "he remains faithful to present us his telluric and expressionist world by means of that know-how and combining such ancient physical elements as water, earth, fire, air..., of whose synthesis his ceramics are composed. All this, together with his symbols of fish, flowers, suns, birds..., a whole mythical-magical world where nature and religion, legend and poetry have a place. Junquera's ceramics is a rhythmic arrangement, distributed especially in optical, plastic and geometric characters. All of them are articulated, more than as simple occurrences, as forces in tension, whose aesthetic effectiveness lies in the rhythmic process of the expression of symbols and figures. The forms that Junquera handles are not simple naturalistic motifs, but correspond to the figurative-symbolic world, The forms that Junquera handles are not simple naturalistic motifs, but correspond to the figurative-symbolic world, which with ornamental characters are presented to us as a world full of meanings, which refer us to the rich world of history, where matter, art and ingenuity shape an intimate world that overwhelms us with its presence; Centro Universitario Cultural, Mexico City, 1968, Casa de la Cultura de Aguascalientes, 1970, Centro Cultural Coyoacanense, Mexico City, 1971, Casa de la Cultura del Istmo, Ixtepec, Oaxaca, Bazar San Jacinto, Mexico City, Casa de la Cultura de Michoacán, Morelia, Michoacán.
