Sorry, but it's slightly absurd to pretend the subject wasn't Jewish:
Her parents were named Segal and Rubin, both common Jewish surnames.
They emigrated to Israel, something that tens of thousands of Romanian Jews did after 1948, and that was essentially restricted to Jews at the time.
She came from a town with a significant (21%) Jewish minority.
She photographed synagogues and Jewish rituals.
She was profiled in Dejando huella : aproximación a la judeidad venezolana : 19 esbozos biográficos, a book the purpose of which was to document the lives of prominent Venezuelan Jews.
@Biruitorul: Sorry, I deleted the category because there was no mention of it in the article. I started the article in Spanish using the biographical book Tiempo, memoria e imagen, and so far I haven't found references about her religion. However, I actually haven't finished the article, there's plenty more about the biography to add, and despite being Venezuelan I only knew about Segall after buying the book. There's also the possibility that only her ancestry is Jewish, explaining her interest, but if all this facts are true feel free to add it, and if any content could be included in the article it would be even better.

By all means, take your time, but let me just make one observation: the "Jewish" category is primarily an ethnic rather than a religious one. Whether or not Segall practiced the Jewish faith, it's pretty clear she was of Jewish ancestry. - BiruitorulTalk00:50, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Biruitorul: On the book there are references to her participation in Jewish events and her expositions of synagogues, but the sake of implicity I found a better source: [1] Here's a new of the Israelite Association of Venezuela about an 2012 artist exposition, and among the persons is Thea Segall. I think it's safe to add the category.--Jamez42 (talk) 01:51, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
