Morphology

artistic + creation

The noun phrase combines 'artistic' (related to art, skill, or beauty) and 'creation' (a produced work), so the meaning 'a work produced with artistic value' is directly derivable from the constituents. This adjective+noun composition follows a common and transparent pattern in English (and many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

Artistic creation comes from the simple picture of an artist in a studio making something new: artistic shows it is made by an artist and creation is the thing they make, like a painting or a sculpture. That's why the phrase means 'the act or result of making something with artistic value'.
