creative genius
Innovative imaginative talent
Creative genius describes exceptional imaginative or artistic ability—the capacity to produce original work that others find remarkable.
The phrase often names a person possessing such ability: She's a creative genius.
It can also describe the faculty itself: His creative genius emerged in his twenties.
The term risks overuse; calling every competent artist a creative genius dilutes its meaning.
