ARTIST AND DESIGNER
Architect, interior designer, artist and landscape architect Bill Bensley began his career in Singapore and Hong Kong. In 1989, he established his studio in Bangkok, followed by a second branch in Bali. Together with a team of 150 interior designers, architects, landscape designers, graphic designers and artists, Bensley has brought more than 200 resorts, hotels and palaces to life across over 30 countries.
Known for imaginative environments rich in colour, detail and narrative, Bensley brings together creativity, humour and storytelling across architecture, landscape design, hospitality, interiors and fine art.
During the pandemic, his creative practice expanded further into painting, bringing his bold, playful visual language to vivid scenes, richly layered compositions and distinctive characters.
The Print
The Rainforest is packed with plants that look as though they were designed by a dramatic artist. Towering hardwoods with buttress roots, twisty lianas, rattan vines and palms create a wild mix of textures beneath the canopy.
Massive dipterocarp trees rise as the true giants of the forest, while spiky pandanus plants, ferns and mosses give it an “ancient temple reclaimed by nature” mood. Everything grows everywhere—up, sideways and on top of each other. It is chaotic in the best way.
This pattern draws from the twisty vines, giant leaves, sculptural plants and bold textures of a forest that refuses to be tamed. A lively snapshot of the rainforest's lush, mischievous plant world.
The Print
The Rainforest Flare was inspired by the idea that the forest never has a quiet day. Leopards, pangolins, crocodiles, kouprey, birds and other wild inhabitants are always crossing paths, creating harmless trouble and entertaining chaos.
The creatures come together in one lively moment—sneaking snacks, showing off their distinctive patterns and playfully minding one another’s business. Spots, scales, horns and feathers intertwine in an energetic celebration of the forest and its wildlife.
The result captures the forest on its busiest day: wild, playful, full of personality and impossible to look at without smiling.
The Print
“Wild Dholes of the Rainforest” began with one simple truth: dholes can never stay still. If they are not zooming, leaping or chasing absolutely nothing, something must be seriously wrong.
In this print, the dholes take over the jungle as though it were their personal obstacle course. They hop over giant mushrooms, squeeze between oversized leaves, poke their noses into everyone else’s business and start races no one agreed to join.
Birds scatter, lizards panic, and the entire forest becomes a dhole-approved playground, full of movement, energy and playful chaos.
