Hand Shape Fingers Curled Inward Resembling

Create a design featuring a stylized hand shape with fingers curled inward, resembling a fist. Instead of a pointed middle finger, depict an abstract flame shape rising from the top. Use bold black outlines for the fingers and flame, but fill the interior with a gradient of deep red to bright orange. Ensure the background is a soft beige to create contrast, and remove any brand elements or references.
