He stepped into his father’s footsteps. His father’s hobby – woodcarving – also drew his son, Štefan the Younger, onto his path, who dedicates his free time to wood alongside his work. With his father, he participated in the first year of the Woodcarvers Symposium in 1975. He came with his father to help him with a large sculpture, and in the meantime, he created the sculpture Shepherd with a Lamb on his Shoulders, a work that stood for many years by the gate to the amphitheater. In the following years, the organizers invited him as an independent carver and he created a whole series of remarkable sculptures especially with pastoral and agricultural themes (Shepherd pouring wine, Stacking sheaves, Woman with a burden and child), as well as themed on folk musicians (Bassist), folklore (Carrying of Morena). His sculptures, unlike his father’s, are more refined, detailed, he favors compositions – compositions of several figures. He tries to give his characters dynamism, capture them in motion, compose nature, animals, things into his sculptures. He works on tree trunks, which he refines artistically into a form that evokes the shape of the tree trunk. In addition to Východná, he has participated in several symposiums both at home and abroad. Since 2002, in collaboration with the Orava Educational Center and the village of Babín, he has organized woodcarving symposiums called Returns to Siváňovci. In early summer 2004, he created a remarkable sculpture from the lower part of a over two-hundred-year-old maple in Liptovský Hrádok, which is located in front of the House of Culture. He lived in Babín in Orava
