Born in Penestanan, Ubud, 1939. He learned painting with his community. At the age of 20, he met Rudolf Bonnet who encouraged him to join Golongan Pelukis Ubud. Ever since then, Sadia's works had been influnced by Bonnet especially the illustration of human anatomy. But Bonnet's influenced obviously had been shown in his vision leading him to paint more secular themes, such as the peasant life, figures of animal and vegetation (rice and grass). Aside from Indonesia, Sadia's works have been exhibited in Netherlands, German, Swiss, Mexico and United States.
