Journalism | | French term or phrase: Il est aussi tout près désormais de ses bureaux | Il vient de s’installer dans une maison au bord du lac, ce qui fait qu’il a les pieds dans l’eau pratiquement. Ce sera pour lui une source d’inspiration car, je vous le révèle, son autre passion, c’est la peinture, qu’il pratique avec une grande sensibilité. Il est aussi tout près désormais de ses bureaux, au milieu des grands hôtels. Et de Madrid où se trouve son quartier général, il a fait venir un de ses trois enfants, qui est sa copie conforme.
Context: Article about a designer.
