He was born in Tallinn, Estonia under the Soviet Union and spent the first 10 years of his life there.

His current series of paintings centers around Saar's memories of his family life before Estonia became independent in 1991. The single-colored hue images were assembled from family photographs, showing moments of life and depicting family, friends and simple pleasures.
