“Zúñiga knew how to respect that austere style that at the same time marked his own style. The truly unusual synthesis for its time within the Mexicanist or nationalist and symbolic current that Oliverio Martínez represented would later be the foundation of much of the work of Francisco Zúñiga, a monumental sculptor, a sensitive sculptor of a type of female figure that brings together both the ancestral pain of marginalization and the heritage of a superior culture.” Raquel Tibol.
