Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the understanding of creative process from the point of view of the Eastern doctrines. The authors examine the ontological aspects of creativity (i.e. “emptiness”, organicity, naturalness and non-purposefulness), appealing to the concepts of Buddhism, Zen Buddhism and Taoism along with the works of Western experts in art. The idea is advanced that the essence of creativity consists in the immersion in the fullness of existence (nirvana, Tao), which is revealed by means of the eternity-instant of artistic reality.
