Ellen Moorman is a Dutch artist from Ulft, in the Achterhoek region. She is self-taught and has developed her own style and technique over the years. Moorman works across multiple disciplines: pen drawings, colourful paintings and visual art. Her paintings have been displayed at Slingeland Hospital in Doetinchem, SKB in Winterswijk and cultural venues such as the Rietstapkerkje in Dinxper. She describes her own motivation as “making people a little happier” — an ambition that is directly visible in her work.
Ellen Moorman’s work is recognisable by several consistent elements. First, the large eyes that appear in virtually all her figures — they symbolise making eye contact and starting a conversation. Second, the humour in titles and subjects: works like “Kiss From A Rose,” “Knooprund,” “Maak het niet te bont” and “Cowd Hé?!” reveal a playful spirit unafraid of wordplay. Third, her use of colour — Moorman works with bold, cheerful colours that reinforce the lightness of her subjects. Fourth, the fact that each sculpture is a unique piece: only one copy of each work is ever made. Like Urmila Massaar, Jellie van Kranen and Franz Bodner, Ellen Moorman creates handmade one-of-a-kind pieces — each sculpture exists only once.
At Pop Art Statues you’ll find a rotating collection of hand-painted ceramic sculptures by Ellen Moorman, starting from €149. The collection includes CowParade sculptures in large and medium format as well as various other figures such as balloon dogs and animal sculptures. Because each sculpture is a one-off, works cannot be reordered once sold.
A sculpture by Ellen Moorman is a wonderful gift for someone who loves colourful, humorous art and values unique, handmade pieces. The CowParade sculptures appeal to collectors of this worldwide art project, while the other figures suit people looking for a striking decorative piece with personality. Due to the higher price range (from €149.00), it is particularly suitable as a gift for a special occasion: a milestone birthday, a wedding or an anniversary. Precisely because each sculpture is a unique piece, it makes a special gift that shows you have chosen something truly exclusive.
Moorman is less suited for those looking for sleek or understated design. The style is decidedly colourful and humorous — anyone who prefers sober, neutral interior decoration is less likely to connect with it. The price range also makes it less suitable as a small casual gift.

The CowParade sculptures are the most sought-after, particularly the large versions such as “Kiss From A Rose” and “Knooprund.” These combine the recognisability of the worldwide CowParade concept with Moorman’s unique hand painting, making them function as both artwork and collectible.
Dust the sculpture with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ceramics are fragile, handle with care. Each piece is hand-painted, do not use abrasive cleaning products.
