Saddo studied graphic arts at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca. After university, he founded one of the first street art collectives in  Romania, The Playground.

It also paved the way to diverse commissions and collaborations with galleries in Bucharest, Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen. Stockholm, New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Glasgow, Salvador, and many more.

As a young child, he used to devour horror and Sci-Fi movies and books that is then evident on the artistic imagery of his illustrations. Saddo’s work range is influenced by old masters of 15th – 17th century, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Bosch, Brueghel, Walton Ford, naturalistic illustration, pop surrealism, religion, and mythology.
