Luis Arenal was born in Tabasco, Mexico in 1909. Arenal spent a short amount of time in Aguascalientes, relocating to Mexico City with his mother after his father died during military service.

Arenal was expelled from his parochial school for reading subversive literature and switched to a trade school where he focused on mechanical engineering. Arenal travelled to Los Angeles to study architecture, simultaneously supporting himself by washing gasoline cans.

Arenal returned to Mexico in the 1920s and worked as a translator in an advertising office. Arenal continued his diverse studies, taking courses in both law and sculpture.

In 1930 Arenal started to paint on a serious level and held exhibitions throughout California. Arenal collaborated with Mexican muralist Siqueiros and at the Chouinard Art School in Los Angeles, California.
