30 Amazing Photo Manipulation of Fire and Flames

Truly, human civilization cannot be built up without fire. Since the control of the fire by early humans, it has been with us for around 125,000 years, witnessing the rise and fall of human civilizations. Unlike calm water with inner beauty, bright fire has garnered lots of attention, thus inspiring many great human artists to create art about it, the art of fire.

Until the digital era, there are still artists who never ceased to create more and more inspiring and, indeed, very hot digital artworks to impress the audience, thus born this post which will showcase you 30 fiery digital artworks which greatly utilize the fire element to let the entire artwork shines very, very brightly.

So take your time to enjoy them, and let your eyes and mind be ignited by these furious and impressive artworks!
