He embarked on his artistic journey after his family moved to Chita in 1921, where he first published his drawings in the local newspaper. Goryaev's notable achievements include first-degree diplomas at the All-Union Contests "Best Books" for his illustrations to "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and Gogol's "Petersburg Stories".

His legacy includes a profound impact on the illustration of literature, with his works being housed in prestigious collections such as the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, and the Pushkin Museum of Alexander Pushkin​.
