</p>Any answer you get Skuj is only a reflection of someone else's mind. Art does not have to "express" anything. Art does not have to have a purpose. the questions you pose are more suitable to an allegorical work by carrvaggio or Michelangelo than a photo-realist image of a nature scene, although they can be answered in relation to the jaguar.repose, satisfaction, the regal bearing of a true predator. Even working from a photograph there are a million different decisions to be made by the painter to depict it as he/she has. a beautiful image is an end unto itself. anything else is gravy.
