Um, yes it is. This is a very well known general truism. Destruction is almost always easier than creation.
Certainly spilled milk can’t be put back in the milk jug, but I don’t think that proves destruction is easier than creation rather it underlines that what makes destruction devastating is that it cannot be reversed in the way the construction of something can.
My point is, why do you narrowly frame the choice as either destroying a complex painting or creating one?
