EA Doum Palm

Description

EA Doum Palm is a duo-tone fine art print drawn from a still-life composition—a pen-and-ink study of Hyphaene compressa, one of the few palm species whose trunk forks and branches rather than rising in a single column.

The drawing captures that rarity: a dense canopy of feathered fronds unfolding from each forked tip, with the hand that made it still present in every crosshatched shadow.

A bold colourway where earth meets electric. Afroneon draws from the intensity of tropical flora set against the grounding weight of African soil.

The pink cuts through like light, floral, radiant, unapologetic, while the brown holds it steady, echoing bark, dust, and woven fibre. Together, they create a striking balance between heritage and glow, one luminous, one rooted.

This is a palette that feels both contemporary and ancestral, where the doum palm’s sculptural form becomes a canvas for colour that is at once alive, grounded, and unmistakably present.

An alternative palette, Smoke, Emerald and Bahari, offers a cooler, more pared-back interpretation for neutral interiors.

Designed for repeat and surface application, the pattern translates seamlessly across fabric, wallpaper, soft furnishings, and interior textiles. It sits naturally alongside linen, raw cotton, and woven neutrals.

Drawn from still life at my father’s farm in Kitale, Kenya.
