Hubert Pareroultja is a senior Western Aranda-Luritja man who lives in his homeland, Kulpitharra / Luntharra outstation west of Ntaria (Hermannsburg). Hubert has been painting landscape watercolours since he was a young boy thus following in the footsteps of his father Reuben Pareroultja and Uncles Otto and Edwin Pareroultja. Reuben, Otto and Edwin were part of the original Hermannsburg School watercolour movement and were all acclaimed artists. When Hubert was a kid he watched the original Hermannsburg School watercolour artist Albert Namatjira and his father and uncles as they painted. Hubert paints many of the same locations that Namatjira and the Pareroultja brothers painted, in particular Ntaria (Hermannsburg), Rutjipma (Mt Sonder) and James Range. Hubert lives and works in Tjoritja to this day. His work is displayed in many important collections.
