Matz Brittus (born in 1946) was completely unkown to the world before his death in helsingborg in the late 2000s. But relatives to Brittus found a large collection of poetry and paintings in his small house on soldatgatan. They subsequently created a small art exhibition, and were after that able to sell almost all of the paintings but also fund the creation of The Brittus poetry collection which was a small pocketsized book relaesed 2 years after his death in 2011.
His Parents Gabriel Brittus(second generation immigrant from Brazil) and Amanda Segerkvist(born in Ljusdal,Sweden) lived in very small town called Näsviken in the northern parts of sweden,where they had three children the last of them was Matz Brittus information about the other children is at this time not possible to find. Matz lived his early adult life in Hudiksvall only a few miles from his family home, he worked in construction and a few different stores and coffee shops. In the early 70s Matz moved to Stockholm for a time and in the mid 70s he met the love of his life Linda Engman and they moved to Helsingborg and got married in 1976.
