Based on his name, he was from Sas van Gent, although some sources indicate he may have been from Saxony. Between 1393 and 1399, he collaborated with Pere Nicolau. His only documented work is a "Doubting Thomas", now in the museum of Valencia Cathedral.

The Altarpiece of the Centenar de la Ploma or Altarpiece of Saint George of the Centenar de la Ploma is a large-scale International Gothic altarpiece executed around 1400 by Andreu Marçal de Sax and Miquel Alcanyís on behalf of the company of the Centenar de la Ploma, symbolising the Battle of the Puig that took place in 1237. Following the acquisition made in 1864, the work is currently in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. In 1237, during the conquest of the Taifa of Valencia, King James I of Aragon gained control of the Castle of El Puig.
