Salvatore of Lucan: ‘I suppose when people have children they give their inner child to their offspring’

Art: What Lies Beneath

‘Me Pregnant with My Inner Child’ by Salvatore of Lucan

NIall MacMonagle

Salvatore of Lucan grew up in his granny’s house with “my nan, my ma, my aunty and my sister”. His Bangladeshi father, and Dublin-born mother had met in Munich, but Salvatore never knew his father until “I met up with him in New York” in his 20s.

His mother, a Montessori teacher, focused on “a sort of haptic learning”.
