In 1937 he studied at the Ecole des Arts appliqués, Paris, France and that same year, at the Académie Julian, Paris, France.

In 1942, he married the wealthy heiress Maria Luisa Gomez Mena, who provided him with professional support, organizing both studio spaces for her husband as well as introducing him to the primary players in the Cuban art industry. Although the marriage was short-lived, Mena’s effect on his career was transformative, establishing Carreño as a notable figurative painter in the American art scene.
