==Education== Naomi Devil was born in Budapest in 1987 as the second child of her parents. She came into contact with art early in her childhood since her grandfather László Ördögh Senior was a painter and her father studied applied arts and became an industrial designer. Devil attended elementary school in Budapest and from the second semester of the tenth grade became a private student in the secondary school. She spent the summer in Salzburg where she attended a five-week course led by professor Caroline Broadhead at the International Summer Academy for Fine Arts. There she decided to become an artist and therefore she completed the last two classes of high school in one year as a private student. She graduated from secondary school at the age of 17 and entered the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna that same year.<ref>[https://artfacts.net/artist/naomi-devil/64544/profile Artfacts.net] Database, Search: Naomi Devil / Profile</ref><ref>Naomi Devil Catalogue, Foreword: Rockenbauer Zoltán, Pátria Printing House, Budapest, 2017, 167 o., ISBN 978-963-7539-38-1</ref>
She was admitted to the contextual painting class. She began her studies in 2004 in the class of the professors Markus Muntean and Adi Rosenblum. From the second year her professor was Elke Krystufek and from the third year onwards Ashley Hans Scheirl. She graduated in 2008 and got the title ''magister of art''. In the meantime the artist spent two more summers in Salzburg and attended the courses of Rivka Rinn and Andrea Fogli at the International Summer Academy for Fine Arts.<ref>{{cite web |author=Academy of Fine Arts Vienna |title=Theses Database, Search: Naomi Devil |url=http://abschlussarbeiten.akbild.ac.at/search_view |year=2008 |language=de}}</ref>

== Artistic activity==
Devil works mainly as a painter. She paints with oils on canvas. She allows her skills and experience from the fields of design, architecture and visual arts to flow into her painting methods. She deals with the dialogue between different artistic and historical epochs. She places figures from historical paintings in a contemporary context to call the attention to changes in lifestyle and habits. She selects these situations in such a way that she also reacts to current events.<ref>[https://www.les-nouveaux-riches.com/verschiedenen-epochen-naomi-devil/ Les Nouveaux Riches Magazin, Verschiedenen Epochen, Naomi Devil], Wien, (German), retrieved January 4, 2022</ref>

She made the digital reconstructions of Nicolas Schöffer's lost or never realized works for the film ''The wonderful world of Nicolas Schöffer''. The director of the film was Sándor Gerebics.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqikgeQnG4g ''The wonderful world of Nicolas Schöffer'', Film], 2015, Regisseur: Sándor Gerebics</ref> The film was shown on the occasion of the Expo 2015 in Milan.
