creative spirit
Inventive inner drive
Creative spirit is the drive or impulse to make, imagine, or express something new.
It suggests an innate quality rather than learned skill—the spark that moves someone to create: Her creative spirit wouldn't let her rest until the painting was finished.
The phrase can also describe a person who embodies this quality: He was a true creative spirit, always tinkering with new ideas.
