I took a chance and followed your link. Unusually it wasn't blocked by our firewall, but that was probably because there was nothing to see. So I can't comment on whether a flexbox would be appropriate.
Why not post the CSS you have tried and just explain what goes wrong

You'll need to use multiple background images - one for the image, and a linear gradient for the solid colour.
Using multiple backgrounds | MDN[^]
For example: Edit fiddle - JSFiddle[^]

CSS

.fancy-image {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    width: 800px;
    height: 300px;
    background: linear-gradient(115deg, rgba(68,68,68,0) 0%,rgba(68,68,68,0) 45%,rgba(68,68,68,1) 45%,rgba(68,68,68,1) 100%), url(https://placekitten.com/800/300) top left no-repeat;
    color: white;
    padding: 80px 15px 0 390px;
}

If you want the text to follow the slanted edge, then you'll need to use a CSS shape.

CSS

.fancy-image {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    width: 800px;
    height: 300px;
    background: linear-gradient(115deg, rgba(68,68,68,0) 0%,rgba(68,68,68,0) 45%,rgba(68,68,68,1) 45%,rgba(68,68,68,1) 100%), url(https://placekitten.com/800/300) top left no-repeat;
    color: white;
}
.fancy-image::before {
    content: "";
    display: block;
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    shape-outside: linear-gradient(115deg, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 45%,rgba(0,0,0,0) 45%,rgba(0,0,0,0) 100%);
    shape-margin: 5px;
}
