Greetings dear Martin,
There is book, perhaps the most comprehensive book on insight before
creativity became popular. It is "Insight: A Study of Human Understanding"
by Bernard Lonergan (1957) It is a very complex book, covering many
domains of human thinking. I would suggest studying it to understand
insight on insight without creativity complicating the picture.

What if it is exactly the opposite, namely, that insight is the outcome of
creative thinking?
With care and best wishes
