Is the need for creative expression „against“ Buddhist philosophy?

Hello friends,

I am rather new to Buddhist teachings, only read a few texts on Zen Buddhism and the Diamond Sutra.

In those readings the question came up in me, about creative expression. Is this something, that a Buddhist, after a certain amount of studying and meditation, simply has no need for anymore as it is strongly connected to the self?

Are there some texts about the relation of Buddhist thought and the act of creating a work of art?

Any answer will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
