"L'Esprit du Coq" Painting

Randy Groden

Randy Groden is an American figurative painter and fine artist whose career spans more than five decades, with work collected throughout the United States and abroad. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, he is known for collectible figurative paintings, expressive portraiture, intimate boudoir work, atmospheric jazz collections, and landscapes inspired by the beauty of the American West.

Working in oil, acrylic, watercolor, graphite, and charcoal, Groden combines classical draftsmanship with a contemporary sensitivity to light, mood, and storytelling. His paintings are less about recording appearances than revealing character—the quiet moments, subtle gestures, and expressions that make each subject uniquely human.

Over the course of his career, Groden’s work has taken him throughout Texas, New Mexico, Hawaii, Italy, and other inspiring artistic communities, each contributing to the evolution of his artistic voice. His work has been exhibited in galleries across the country and commissioned by private collectors who value original fine art rooted in craftsmanship, authenticity, and emotional connection.

Whether capturing the soulful energy of a jazz club, the intimacy of the human figure, or the grandeur of the western landscape, Groden seeks to create paintings that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and connect. Every piece is created with the belief that fine art should not simply decorate a space—it should tell a story, evoke emotion, and become a lasting part of the lives of those who collect it.

In addition to his gallery work, Groden accepts a limited number of private portrait and fine art boudoir portrait commissions each year.
