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".
