 Here's my problem with the idea that art is created versus discovered:

It's egotistical. They think they are so special that only THEY can come up with "real" art.

Anything that can be created has always had the capacity to exist, it's simply a matter of uncovering it. Humans are products of the universe. To look outside is to look into ourselves, and vice-versa. Art is the universe expressing itself through us. It's not owned by anyone.
