artistic creation

Product of imagination

Artistic creation is the act of producing works of art—paintings, sculptures, music, literature, or other forms of creative expression.

The term emphasizes the process as much as the product, suggesting imagination and craft working together: She devoted her life to artistic creation.

It can also refer to the resulting work itself: The mural was her finest artistic creation.
