creative force

Artistic driving power

Creative force is the energy or impulse that drives the making of new things—whether art, ideas, inventions, or life itself.

It may refer to a person whose vision shapes a project: She was the creative force behind the campaign.

In spiritual or philosophical contexts, creative force often means the generative power behind existence, sometimes synonymous with God or nature.
