Nostalgia

This painting was born inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky film NOSTALGIA....I felt nostalgic for my own country,language,culture...and I watched this film...how well I could understand Tarkovsky,who emigrated to Italy and felt so drawn back to his native Russian roots...nothing couldn`t give him that energy ,that life,which he left in his homeland.
This is a poem from A.Tarkovsky film STALKER,by Arseny  Tarkovsky,father of the famous film director

Now the summer has passed.
It might never have been.
It is warm in the sun,
But it isn’t enough.

All that might’ve occurred 
Like a five-fingered leaf
Fluttered into my hands, 
But it isn’t enough.

Neither evil nor good
Has yet vanished in vain, 
It all burned and was light,
But it isn’t enough.

Life has been as a shield,
And has offered protection.
I have been most fortunate,
But it isn’t enough.

The leaves were not burned.
The boughs were not broken,
The day clear as glass, 
But it isn’t enough.
