You might well be better off using a vector application such as Inkscape. You will need to make those shapes into vectors. That can be done from Inkscape.
Using Gimp with an image as attached. A bit limited to what can be done straight away.
You can fuzzy select a shape, and copy it (1) . It can be copied and pasted and you get a 'floating pasted layer, use it as any other layer until anchored
or
That can be used as the clipboard brush, the colour comes from the original (2)
In Gimp 2.10 you also get a clipboard mask. That takes the colour from the FG color. However with a closely packed image you can get some 'extras' from adjacent shapes..
Either way, as a brush it can be scaled and rotated to suit.
A better way is take each shape in turn. Make it a grayscale image and export as a Gimp brush something.gbr
Some I can make quickly, check the attached zip as an example for those brushes. Unzip put in your brushes folder.
