Of course, in ordinary usage one can "create" a painting .. using things that already exist of course .. but shaped by one's own creativity and intentions.
I don't quite know what you're looking for. God created us and the entire world we experience. now you ask "what is God in terms of what effects it contributes to our experience?" he plays more of a behind the scenes role in our daily lives as well as actively sustaining the existence of the universe. he would play a more active role in our lives if we want him to.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
