After completing his studies in German and ancient Greek Philosophy (B.A. from the ''University of Toronto'' 1985), he learned classical painting techniques at the ''Akademie der Bildenden Künste'' in Vienna (''Academy of Fine Arts Vienna'' 1990).〔''Dalis Erben malen Europa'', edited by Roger M. Erasmy (Kastner Verlag, 2005) p. 14.〕 Caruana then began an itinerant existence, living variously in Toronto, Malta, Vienna, Munich, Monaco, and Paris. In that period, he actively pursued visionary experience (dreams, entheogens) as a source for his painting and writing.〔''La Mort Transfigurée: L'Art Visionnaire et la Mort'' (Galerie l'Arche de Morphée, 2006) p. 79.〕 After meeting his French fiançée in Munich, L. Caruana settled in Paris. In the year 2000 he met Ernst Fuchs of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism and subsequently apprenticed under him for a year, working in his studios in Monaco and Castillon, as well as at the St. Egid chapel in Klagenfurt.〔 In 2008 he held the first (Visions in the Mischtechnik ) painting seminar in the eco-village of Torri Superiore Italy, which eventually led to the creation of (The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art ) in the Palais Palffy, where Caruana has served as Director and Principle Lecturer since 2013.〔L.
