In D.N.Angel, Satoshi can copy any art that he sees but not create art of his
own. Is this because he was not raised by his family (the Hikari family)? Is
some other reason given, either by the manga or by the author?

Is it explained why Satoshi cannot create art?


As far as I know, it wasn't mentioned either in the anime or manga. But having
him raised by his adoptive father Kei Hiwatari instead by the Hikari family
themselves probably was the main reason. He probably lacked training from his
ancestors so he can only create a copy of an artwork, and cannot create an
artwork of his own.

I think that is more like he does not want to. They never directly talk about
it, but both in the manga and in the anime (with more depth on the former)
Dark comments about Daisuke wanting to paint to defy his heritage and mentions
a similarity with Satoshi. Also, he can make artwkork and reproductions, but
he does not like to ( that would mean being like his family which he outright
says hates) also he does not hold his family artwork in high regard
