It sounds like your saying;
subject + composition + human condition = diorama
Not that I disagree. James Dietz described his paintings as taking the curious and human elements and saving them for the right painting. Like the collapsable silver drinking cup in Here's mud in your eye - a painting of an AEF Camel pilot in BEF Trenches surrounded by muddied Tommies and being given a shot of the flask in the shadow of his tails up F.I. His additional comments were that his paintings are to please himself. There seems to lay the crucial ingredient. Noting the human condition and letting others see what you do.
