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 work was also internationally recognized, evidenced by a diploma II degree at the International Book Exhibition in Bratislava in 1967 for "Petersburg Stories", and in 1969, he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Czechoslovak Union of International Relations.

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​.
