can this stand alone without a semi-colon?

From my paper on Jackson Pollock:

The brown layer—the most important in my opinion, disrupts the white/black elements and authoritatively mediates the picture, giving it that holistic energy of nature that is inherit to earth.

I don't know why, but I can't decide whether "giving it that holistic energy of nature that is inherit to earth" is independent and deserves a semi-colon. I have concluded that it is subordinate or if not, is setup from the first sentence and cannot stand alone.

opinions?
