Fresco painting was indeed less common in Byzantine art compared to other forms of decoration, such as mosaics. While frescoes were used, particularly in church interiors, the Byzantine aesthetic heavily favored mosaics due to their luminosity and durability. Mosaics allowed for intricate designs and vibrant colors that were more aligned with Byzantine spiritual and artistic goals. Therefore, while not absent, fresco painting was not the predominant medium in Byzantine art.
Frescoes were less widespread in the Byzantine period than in the classical period. They were often replaced by wall mosaics.

The Greeks and the Classical Romans used mosaics manly for floors. The Byzantine period made quite an extensive use of mosaics on the walls of churches. Mosaic tiles were more expensive than materials for fresco painting, and mosaic making was more laborious than painting frescoes. Therefore mosaics displayed the wealth of the Byzantine Empire. There was also an integration of architecture and mosaic decoration.
